OLD wolly pholiota (!?)
Pholiota populnea
51.4427, 6.06087
Field Notes
Description:
The hat has a diameter of 5 to 15 centimeters and is pale brownish. Its scales are large, light, fibrous and woolly coat; they turn brown with age. The surface is more or less dry. The slats are initially quite pale, when ripe they turn brown rust. They are a bit away they bulged and grew. The Lammelenschneide is emarginate and brighter than the surface. The stem is clavate, fleshy, and has a fibrous ring zone. Its color is consistent with the hat. The flesh is whitish-colored wood, just at the stem base, it is tanning; be odor is normal. The bitter taste is noticeably
Habitat:
Most members of the genus Pholiota are wood-rotting saprobes with brown to cinnamon brown or rusty brown spore prints, gills that are attached to the stem but do not run down it, and rings or ring zones. The most commonly collected species are large, showy mushrooms that feature scaly and/or slimy caps
Notes:
However, the features above will not always separate pholiotas from other brown-spored, wood rotting mushrooms--and "terrestrial" pholiotas that decompose buried or burned wood are not infrequently found. Ultimately, microscopic features (smooth spores that usually feature a pore, and a filamentous pileipellis) may have to be confirmed.
