Dave W Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Either genus Parasola https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasola https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasola_plicatilis or genus Tulosesus https://mushroomobserver.org/400100?q=1mhhE. My guess is the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the latter. I had never heard of Tulosesus before. From what I gather, it's an offshoot of Coprinellus, of species that somewhat more resemble Parasola? I usually differentiate Coprinellus and Parasola by the former having a universal veil. Which isn't always easy, because Parasola sometimes has granular material ("pileal cystidial elements") that can resemble an universal veil. It's not clear where Tulosesus falls into this. Does it have an universal veil or not? I'm assuming yes, because the species were previously in Coprinellus. Or quite likely the answer is "maybe" or "sometimes". There's not a lot of info for the layman on this new genus out there. I understand why they need to keep mixing up the genera and creating new ones. But I don't have to like it! And to think at one point all the gilled mushrooms were just in Agaricus lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Yeah, Tulosesus is a new genus. Species seen on Index Fungorum are mostly authored in 2020 http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/Names.asp . I'm also still trying to understand the distinguishing features for Tulosesus. I think you're probably on the right track, Calvin. Fruit bodies that more-or-less resemble Parasola but which feature universal veil, or at least some sort of deposit on the cap. I'm guessing some species housed in Parasola that feature deposits on the cap surface may end up being transferred to Tulosesus. For example, https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=P&l=l&nom=Parasola auricoma / Coprin à tête dorée&tag=Parasola auricoma&gro=33 .
