They are short-lived, typically lasting no more than a few days. [22] At that point the slime has usually been removed by insects, leaving the pale off-white, bare cap surface exposed. [20] Spores of P. indusiatus are thin-walled, smooth, elliptical or slightly curved, hyaline (translucent), and measure 2–3 by 1–1.5 μm. [24]
Moist mushrooms have sticky surfaces that result from a thin gelatinous film called a pellicle. [22] This film becomes apparent if a piece of the cap is broken by bending it back and peeling away the piece. When the cap dries from exposure to the sun, the film turns whitish and is no longer peelable. [23]
The stipe is 4–11 cm (1 + 5 ⁄ 8 – 4 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) tall and 1–3 cm wide, [1] grandular dotted and the color is similar to the cap. [2] The cap is scaly and has fibrillose. The spores are brownish when they are young. [5] The spore print is dark olive brown to brown. [6] The species stains fingers blue. [7] It has no veil. [2]
Amanita brunnescens has a mostly brown cap, with possible tones of olive, grey, or red. At maturity the cap is often around 8–9 centimetres (3 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) wide. The cap margins lack universal veil remnants. The shape of the cap can be bell-shaped to convex, becoming planar as it matures.
The gills are only slightly decurrent, no ring. Lentinus levis (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Murrill (1915) This American mushroom, which has been classified as a Pleurotus, is reportedly easy to mistake for P. dryinus. [14] It has no cap scales and no ring or veil remnants, and the felty surface is different. [15] Pleurotus albertinii [Fr.) Sacc. (1887)
The cap ranges from 1.5 to 4 cm (0.6 to 1.6 in) in width and 3 to 4.5 cm (1.2 to 1.8 in) in height; [10] the entire fruit body can reach heights of 20 cm (7.9 in). [11] The cap texture is finely granular and it is attached to a white open circlet at the top where it meets the stalk.
"The mushrooms are the reproductive structure of a fungus that grows underground," Anne Pringle, a mycologist and expert on death cap mushrooms at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, tells ...
A partial veil, in contrast to a universal veil, extends from the stem surface to the cap edge. The partial veil later disintegrates, once the fruiting body has matured and the spores are ready for dispersal. It might then give rise to a stem ring, or fragments attached to the stem or cap edge. In some mushrooms, both a partial veil and a ...
