and stem are both densely covered with scales--a combination not often seen in thegenus. i wouldn't go so far as grund and stuntz ( ), however, when they write that "[f]ew species of inocybe are as easy to recognize as this one" (p. )--although, as i typed that quote, i realized just how slippery it...
has voted on two occasions ( and ) to conserve the name "tricholomataceae" against competing names. [ ] this decision does not invalidate the use of segregate families from the tricholomataceae, but simply validates the continued use of tricholomataceae.

more visible and the pore surface becomes greenish yellow. the flesh does not change color when the mushroom is sliced, and its surfaces do not bruise on handling. whether or not the "true" boletus edulis occurs in north america is up for debate. mushrooms meeting the general description above can be...
) are apparently widely distributed on our continent. the tendency to grow in tight clusters is an identifying feature, as is the white cap and stem, and the densely crowded gills, which are broadly attached to the stem or just begin to run down it. the spore print is pinkish, and the spores are finely...
dead logs in hardwood forests. it has a white spore print , gills that run down the stem, and a wiry stem that is yellow above, and brownish below. on close inspection, the gills are often connected by many cross-veins—one ofthe defining features ofthegenus xeromphalina. the very similar xeromphalina...
pholiota --but it features a white, rather than brown, spore print , and differs microscopically. it appears to be most frequently found from ohio to new york, but its range includes much of northeastern north america. armillaria decorosa is a former name. leucopholiota lignicola (karsten) harmaja is...
in thegenus 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...
appears to be fairly common and widespread--but it is often overlooked due to its size. the very crowded gills will help to identify baeospora myosura, but microscopic analysis is probably needed to identify this species with certainty, since several species ofthegenus strobilurus also inhabit cones...
when you find marasmius nigrodiscus for the first time. it is uncharacteristically large for thegenus, with a cap that can reach a width of centimeters. it is, however, fairly distinctive, with its dark center and lighter marginal area, and it appears in a wide variety of eastern north american ecosystems...
, boletinoid pore surface that begins to run down the stem and bruises slowly brown to reddish brown. the apex ofthe stem is widely reticulate with a brown reticulum. it can be similar in general appearance to xerocomus subtomentosus , but that species is usually larger and has a pore surface that turns...
