Lepiota     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.



TricholomaAgaricales     Order
Fruiting body containing fibers (usually in the stalk)


Amanita onustaWhite Spored     Suborder
Spore print "light-colored": white or buff, sometimes tinged with pink or tan. Greenish and (except for the Russulales) yellow spore prints also go here
Stalk fibrous, not fracturing like a piece of chalk

Diagnosis

Comments

The pileipellis of Lepiota species is often more deeply colored than the flesh beneath. As the cap expands, the pileipellis gets torn apart, becoming colored scraps that are farthest apart towards the margin of the cap (where the most expansion has taken place). Often, the disk (especially the umbo) remains solidly colored, as very little expansion takes place there
