ChristiaandeWit Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 This little guy is beautiful. Very soft texture on the cap. Found in western NC. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitog Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 That looks like Hypomyces chrysospermus infecting some kind of bolete mushroom. This is a common occurence for certain species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 The underside of the cap appears to be coated with a white mold, which would agree with vitog's suggestion; the early stage of Hypomyces chrysospermus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
