Bolbitius titubans, also known as Bolbitius vitellinus, is a widespread species of mushroom found in America and Europe. It grows chiefly on dung or heavily fertilized soil, and sometimes on grass. It is nonpoisonous.[1]
The mushroom cap is between 1.5–7 cm,[2] and grows from egg-shaped when young to broadly convex, finally ending up nearly flat.[3] The cap's color starts yellow or bright yellow, and fades to whitish or greyish with age.[4] The gills are free from the stem or narrowly attached to it, are fragile and soft, and fade from whitish or pale yellowish to rusty cinnamon with age.[3] The stem is 3–12 cm tall and 2–6 mm wide,[2] is whitish-yellow with a fine mealy powdering, and is very delicate.[5] The spores are brown, elliptical, and smooth.[2]
The mushroom's edibility is unknown but it is too small to be worthwhile.[2]
A similar species is Bolbitius aleuriatus.[2]
