Macroscopic features
The hat , which is initially cylindrical, but quickly forms a cone , reaches a width of 2–4 cm. The gray to olive-gray surface of the hat bends strongly with age and is covered with curly, whitish fibers that are reminiscent of thin feathers. With increasing age, the hat, which has become very thin, tears, frays and curls up. The lamellas attached to the stem are initially white, but quickly turn black. The ringless, cylindrical stem is whitish and is up to 10 cm high and 3–8 mm wide. It is hollow, fragile, tapers towards the top and has a fibrous, flaky surface. The meat ( trama ) is thin, membranous and without a distinctive odor.
Microscopic features
The spores are black and each 10–13 × 6–8 µm in size.
Species delimitation
When young, the hare's paw resembles the young snow-white dung-tintling ( Coprinopsis nivea ). However, this always grows on or next to manure.
Ecology and phenology
The hare's paw grows in shady, damp forests, on roadsides, less often in gardens. Often it also populates the cleared wood storage areas, but no fresh dung.
The fruiting bodies appear singly or in groups from June to October.
