'''''[[Marasmius rotula]]''''', the pinwheel mushroom, is a fungus in the family [[Marasmiaceae]]. Widespread in the Northern Hemisphere, it was first [[species description|described]] scientifically in 1772 by mycologist [[Giovanni Antonio Scopoli]]. The mushrooms are characterized by thin whitish [[pileus (mycology)|caps]] up to {{convert|2|cm|1|abbr=on}} wide that are sunken in the center and pleated with scalloped margins. The wiry black hollow [[stipe (mycology)|stalks]] measure up to {{convert|8.0|cm|in|abbr=on}} long by {{convert|1.5|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} thick. On the underside of the caps are widely spaced white [[lamella (mycology)|gills]], attached to a collar encircling the stalk. The mushrooms grow in groups or clusters on decaying wood such as fallen twigs and sticks, moss-covered logs, and stumps. [[Spore]] release is dependent upon sufficient moisture. Dried mushrooms may revive after rehydrating and release spores for up to three weeks, much longer than most gilled mushrooms. Although the mushrooms are not generally considered [[edible mushroom|edible]], they produce a unique [[peroxidase]] enzyme that is attracting research interest for use in [[bioengineering]] applications. {{TFAFULL|Marasmius rotula}}
