in thegenus lyophyllum. it is a rather non-descript, drab mushroom requiring microscopic analysis for identification: it has fairly large, flask-shaped spores and a non-gelatinized pileipellis. it was originally described from mt. rainier national park; the illustrated collection was made in colorado...
, pines, and so on. but some mushroom species are mycorrhizal with berry bushes and, in the case of cantharellus coccolobae, sea grapes—tropical beach plants in thegenus coccoloba that are usually more bush-like than tree-like. in physical features cantharellus coccolobae is similar to the well-known...
, conifers. its typical form is a classic example of what mycologists call an "effused-reflexed" fruiting body; it spreads its spore-bearing surface over the wood and musters up just enough cap-making umph to fold over its upper edge into a slight extension. other distinguishing features include the...

the section as traditionally defined consists of amanitas with amyloid spores , cap margins that are decorated with fragments of universal veil , and sacklike volvas . there are only a few amidellas in north america, and members ofthe amanita volvata species group are the most commonly encountered....
features a brown spore print and a small, fan-shaped fruiting body—but unlike other species in thegenus, it is brightly colored, making it fairly unmistakeable. the little mushrooms are brightly colored and fairly easy to see, but they are particularly tiny, maxing out at about cm across. both ofthe...
are initially pale orange to whitish, but with age become colored more or less like the upper surface ofthe cup. under the microscope sowerbyella rhenana has gorgeous, coarsely reticulate spores , along with paraphyses that are sometimes bent or "hooked" like those in thegenus otidea. sowerbyella...
; there is a small cortinarius in the traditional subgenus sericeocybe that appears in eastern north america's beech forests and features lilac colors from head to toe, along with nearly round, almost smooth spores. it is more purple than the similar cortinarius anomalus , and its spores are less warty...
