Parasola plicatilis
The pleated inkcap (Parasola plicatilis) can be placed in the Eukayota among the animals and fungi. It is further classified in the following phylogenetic order: Holomycota, Dikarya, Phyllum Basidomycota, Class Agaricomycetes, Order agaricales, Family Psathyrellaceae and Genus Parasola).
It is apparently a very short-lived grassland fungus that appears soon after a rain. The fruiting bodies grow; shed their spores and decay within a day (Parasola plicatilis. (n.d.). FirstNature. Retreived October 20, 2021, from https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/parasola-plicatilis.php).
Like many of the fungi observed, it is saphrophytic living on decaying organic material. It is generally considered inedible.
