MicroDoc Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 I got a bit lost in the woods (in the rain) on Sunday. I wandered into a spot loaded with these white mushrooms growing in deep leaf litter amongst boulders. Some were on the order of 12 to 15 cm in diameter. I thought Clitopilus prunulus due to the way that the gills run right into the stipe and a bit of waviness to the cap edge. Did a spore print expecting to see "pinkish" spores but that didn't happen. Definitely more towards a pale yellow. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 General appearance combined with pale yellow spore print strongly suggest Clitocybe robusta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroDoc Posted October 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Thanks. C. robusta is a winner. I'm 100% not going to eat these but I am curious if this mushroom gets on your table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rondayvous Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 My guide book says C. robust should have a disagreeable odor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Years back --maybe 30 or so-- I misidentified these as Lepista irina. Not bitter, but flavor very disagreeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
