Field Notes
Description:
It is an edible mushroom about 5 -15 cm big. Coloration may vary from white to cream, grey to beige, while spores are pink. Cape shape is conical or nearly so. It has distinct or odd smell (non mushroomy).
Habitat:
Habitat on well-manured groud, compost heaps and rotting straw. Season summer to autumn. Occasional. Edible but care should be taken in identification to avoid confusion with the deadly white-spored Amanitas; although the latter have rings, these may become detached.
