Pluteus 'yellow'

The fruitbody is a mushroom, with a cap atop a central stem. The cap is smooth and convex, up to a few centimetres in diameter, some shade of yellow and with a striate margin. The gills are initially off-white but later get pinkish tinges as the spores mature. The stem is smooth, up to a few centimetres long and up to 5 mm in diameter.

 

 There is neither a universal veil nor a partial veil.

 

 Spore print: brownish-pink.

 

 The mushrooms grow from dead wood.

 

 Look-alikes

Some other genera have yellow caps up to a few centimetres in diameter. The closest look-alikes will turn up in the genus Entoloma, because the species in that genus also give a brownish-pink spore print. However, species of Entoloma are very rarely found on wood - and the gills are not free.

 

Smooth, bright-coloured caps are common in Hygrocybe, but the spore print is white and the fruitbodies don't grow on wood. In Leucocoprinus the caps are scaly or with a granular coating, the mushrooms grow on the ground and the spore print is white.

Pluteus 'yellow' is listed in the following regions:
