Gastrocybe lateritia

n : a species of Gastrocybe fungus that has a conic cap and a

thin stalk; at first the stalk is upright but as it

matures the stalk bends over and then downward; the cap

then gelatinizes and a slimy mass containing the spores

falls to the ground as the stalk collapses [syn: {Gastrocybe
