southern rocky mountains, floccularia fusca is recognized by its grayish brown cap, which features a zone of white partial veil remnants along the edge; its white spore print and gills; its stem, which is sheathed in whitish shagginess; and its smooth, amyloid spores. though the authors of the species...
very distant gills make this marasmius easy to recognize. other "pinwheel" marasmius species include marasmius rotula and marasmius capillaris , with white caps; marasmius pulcherripes , with a pink cap; and marasmius fulvoferrugineus, with a rusty brown cap. the orange color of marasmius siccus fades in...
they tell me. i wouldn't know, since i only find it looking as though it has a droopy, slimy hangover. in its oft-photographed state the cap features an elaborate network of ridges and veins--but rhodotus palmatus can also be found (more commonly, if my experience is indicative) without these ridges,...
probably necessary for certain identification: russula cystidiosa features abundant, clavate pileocystidia and spores with well developed warts. description: ecology: mycorrhizal with oaks and perhaps with other hardwoods; growing alone, scattered, or gregariously; summer and fall; widely distributed in...
not fully sheathed, lack large oil droplets, and often feature flattened ends. to my knowledge, contemporary dna studies have not been published to support the idea that our north american version of sarcoscypha austriaca is the same as the original, austrian version of the species first described in...
the bark of hardwood trees--especially the bark of oaks. in fact, when i wrote this site's page for white oak three years ago, i provided a description and illustration of such a smooth patch, not knowing that the cause was a mushroom!...
in the genus amanita . this particular species is distinguished by its very long and rooting stem, its ephemeral ring, and its white to brownish patches or warts . amanita ravenelii can appear very similar, but has warts that are positioned on a bed of radially fibrillose, cottony material (additionally...
