Hebeloma     Genus



Cortinarius husseyiKey to Gilled Mushrooms     Key
This is a key to gilled mushrooms, that is, mushrooms having a definite cap with a fertile surface consisting of gills. The fruiting body usually also has a stem, although that may be lateral or absent (usually, then, the mushroom is growing from wood). You can use this key to identify mushrooms that you find.

Comments

The cheilocystidia color the gill edges white, until they get covered up with falling spores, and are also responsible for their fringed appearance

It is a slight exaggeration to say that the picture shows pretty much the entire range of cap colors for the entire genus. They're usually a little warmer-looking than this, a bit yellower, or more reddish
