Tricholoma myomyces |
This collection of Tricholoma myomyces shows gill attachment and cap color variations at different stages of maturity. Caps usually have a white margin. Gills attached; notched with age. Found with pine trees in November. Unlike many Tricholoma species, this one is rather small (1-2.5 inch cap) and fragile (cap and stem break easily). Myomyces means "mouse mushroom". |
Gregarious habit. |
