Sunny_0ne Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Earlier this year my sister found this gorgeous, translucent, ethereal mushroom with yellow "umbrella ribs." She asked me to identify it for her, and I believe it is Pleated Inky Cap. The scientific name was listed as both Coprinus plicatilis and Parasola plicatilis. this is the most beautiful mushroom I have ever seen. Since they are her photos, I am just posting a link to them. http://littleworldofhope.com/2013/07/03/little-yellow-mushroom/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualsetters Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Neat looking mushroom. I never seen one like that. I found an odd one the other day, but never got round to posting it. I'll have to get on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Note the ring (annulus) on the stalk. This is a species of Leucocoprinus, probably L. fragilissimus or L. birnbaumii. Nice photos, cool mushroom! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucocoprinus_fragilissimus http://mushroomexpert.com/leucocoprinus_birnbaumii.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny_0ne Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Wow! That just goes to show you how wrong you can be IDing a mushroom long distance! The photos of the ones I thought it was look more like my sister's mushroom than the real things do! Except for the ring. Thank you, Dave!
