Hypholoma capnoides

provided by wikipedia EN

Hypholoma capnoides[1] is an edible mushroom in the family Strophariaceae. Like its poisonous or suspect relatives H. fasciculare ("sulphur tuft") and H. lateritium ("brick caps"), H. capnoides grows in clusters on decaying wood,[2] for example in tufts on old tree stumps, in North America, Europe, and Asia.[2]

Edibility

Though edible,[3] the poisonous sulphur tuft is more common in many areas. H. capnoides has greyish gills due to the dark color of its spores, whereas sulphur tuft has greenish gills. It could also perhaps be confused with the deadly Galerina marginata or the good edible Kuehneromyces mutabilis.[4]

Description

  • Cap: Up to 6 cm in diameter with yellow-to-orange-brownish or matt yellow colour, sometimes viscid.[2]
  • Gills: Initially pale orangish-yellow, pale grey when mature, later darker purple/brown.
  • Spore powder: Dark burgundy/brown.
  • Stipe: Yellowish, somewhat rust-brown below.
  • Taste: Mild (other Hypholomas mostly have a bitter taste).[4]
