Destructive pholiote
Hemipholiota populnea
46.1314, 5.94961
Field Notes
Description:
Fleshy large and cream-beige-colored agaric, some 15cm tall, and some 12 cm in diameter. Cap is convex, and both stem and cap are well covered with whitish scales. White gills, relatively dense. Young carpophores are visible in all photos, at the base of bigger ones.
Habitat:
Mixed lowland forest in a protected marshy area of Etournel; rural parts of Geneva suburbs in lake Geneva valley; these marshes are very close to banks of river Rhône.
Notes:
At a first glance, I thought this was a member of Lepiota gender... Later on, and because it grows directly from the trees (both decaying logs - Pics N° 1 to 4; and from live broad-leaved trees -pics N° 5 and 6), I identified it as Train wrecker or (Neolentinus lepideus, a.k.a. Lentinus lepideus)...
