Taxonomy

The binomial Panaeolus antillarum that previously referred to a closely related species, is now reduced to synonymy with Panaeolus semiovatus var. phalaenarum by most authorities.

Description

Panaeolus semiovatus var. phalaenarum is a medium-sized mushroom which has a cap that is 2 to 4 cm, convex, and is white to yellowish. Often mistaken for its larger cousin Panaeolus semiovatus var. semiovatus, from which it differs in being more slender and having no annulus (ring).[1]

This mushroom prefers tropical climates.

gollark: Also, if you have an NVMe SSD, though, those are usually in the M.2 form factor, which means they use a few of the (usually one to three) M.2 slots on the board itself, and sometimes take away bandwidth from regular SATA ports.
