Observation: Volvariella sp. (22453)
About Volvariella
When: 2009-06-22
Collection location: near Glade Creek, New River Gorge National River, Fayette Co., West Virginia, USA [Click for map]
Who: Eddee (ravenhawkdr)
Herbarium specimen available

Notes: Found this growing under Beech. Further investigation revealed that this fungi was coming from a living root of the beach tree it was growing under. The third pic shows the living root and if you look close you will see the white Mycellum coating the root.. The fungi was resting directly on the root. The spore print is a deep flesh colored so that separates it from Amanita.

[admin – Sat Aug 14 02:05:53 +0000 2010]: Changed location name from ‘Sewell Area New River Gorge Fayette Co. West Virginia’ to ‘near Sewell, New River Gorge National River, Fayette Co., West Virginia, USA
