platyphylla) featured in field guides--a medium-sized, deadwood-associated mushroom with a white spore print , a streaked-looking brown to gray-brown cap, and a stem base often attached to white cords. however, a recent study (hughes and collaborators, ) based on dna results for specimens from across the...
of features: a white spore print ; gills that are attached to the stem; a cap and stem that are densely covered (at least when young) with powdery granules that are easily rubbed off; a partial veil that becomes a sturdy or ephemeral ring on the stem; a pileipellis with inflated, chained-together terminal...
parasite fungus so transforms the host mushroom that it's impossible to tell what the host was. the lobster mushroom , for example, is a russula or lactarius mushroom that has been covered with a bright orange hypomyces species, hypomyces lactifluorum . six ofthe most commonly collected hypomyces species...
spores, this mushroom is pretty distinctive under the microscope--but not to the naked eye. despite its current genus name, it looks like a whole slew of boring, brown psathyrella species, and until very recently it was known as psathyrella conopilus (or psathyrella conopilea). like species in psathyrella...

, is easily separated from the others on the basis of its size and its stem. three other north american species, often treated broadly as "sarcoscypha coccinea" in field guides, are more difficult to separate, and may require microscopic analysis for identification. all four are keyed out below. key...

by their (usually) pale gills, which are free from the stem; their white spore prints ; the presence of a universal veil that often creates a volva or other distinctive features on the stem; and their more or less dry caps (as opposed to the slimy caps in the related genus limacella ). many species of...
the gilled mushrooms , rivaled only by the oyster mushrooms . you probably won't need to make a spore print in order to see the orange to orange-brown or rusty brown color ofthe spores, since spore dust frequently coats everything within a few inches ofthe mushroom. in fact, you should be careful what...
. the species are mycorrhizal with a wide range of trees, and can be found in most woodland ecosystems on our continent. many species of hebeloma have a veil that can be reminiscent ofthe cortina in cortinarius --but the veil, when present, is often ephemeral, and many species lack the veil entirely...
