BigGameHunter Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Found these in south-central Pa. yesterday. They were growing in wood chips under oak trees. I'm not sure what type of wood the wood chips were though. After looking through my mushroom identification books and on mushroom expert online, the closest id I can come with is Pluteus petasatus. Is this an accurate id? I appreciate any input on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 I agree, Pluteus petasatus. I have seen examples of what I think are just pale-capped P. cervinus IDed as P. petasatus. But I think these are an example of the true P. petasatus. The white caps with large brown scales on the discs distinguish this species from the P. cervinus types. Growth on wood chips and robustness of the mushrooms points away from P. tomentosulus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
