When: 2007-01-12
Seen at: Santa Cruz Fungus Fair, Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz Co., California, USA [Click for map]
Who: Douglas Smith (douglas)
Herbarium specimen available

Notes: These came into the id table at the Santa Cruz fungus fair, and they were pretty confusing at the time. The caps are brick-red, and the gills bright white, with serate edges. We got to the fact that they are Rhodocollybia, but that was about it.

Later, poking around Mykoweb, there was a discription of this species R. badiialba, and some photos, and that suggested this id.

I believe I dried these and kept them.

But check the spores, all of the local similar species that I know have elliptical spores. R. badiiabla has globose (or sub-globose) spores!
