Observation 4051: Pluteus sect. Pluteus
When: 2007-08-15
Collection location: Burbank, California, USA [Click for map]
No specimen available
Notes:
Saw this on the walk into work growing near a stump. Only realized afterwards that the cap seems a bit too viscid and smooth for P. petasatus.
Applied the name P. pellitus based on Darvin’s comment. Hopefully I’ll get to see it fruit again and have a chance to check the cheilocystidia.
