Laccaria sp. (Laccaria)
Laccaria fruit bodies are small mushrooms that grow on soil. The caps are mostly less than 5 centimetres in diameter, commonly pinkish-brown to reddish-brown, smooth and dry. The gills are pinkish to pinkish-brown and you may se a whitish bloom on the gill faces. Stems are of much the same colour as the caps and a few centimetres long.
The spore print is white.
Often, it is possible to be fairly sure of having a specimen of Laccaria before you. However, there is little in the way of macroscopic features and identification to species usually requires the examination of specimens.
The mushrooms often appear in groups and one or more species of this genus may show at almost any time of year (except in the coldest part of winter). The mushrooms can be quite common even in mid-summer if there has been some rainfall and if, in the week after rain, it has not very hot.
Laccaria sp. is listed in the following regions:
Canberra & Southern Tablelands | Albury, Wodonga | South Coast | Hunter Region | Hume
