Panaeolina castaneifolia is a rare and widely distributed little brown mushroom.
It has dark brown, coarsely roughened spores which resemble those of Panaeolina foenisecii.
Panaeolina castaneifolia grows in along roadsides and grassy fields. This species was first found in New York City and is probably more widely distributed. This mushroom is often mistaken for Panaeolina foenisecii, and has similar microscopic features but can be distinguished by its thicker stem and more unpleasant taste. It also resembles Panaeolus subbalteatus and can be distinguished from that species by its roughened brown spores.
