Leucoagaricus badhamii is a species of mushroom belonging to the genus Leucoagaricus. It is commonly known as Badham's agaricus or sometimes as Badham's leucoagaricus. This mushroom is part of the family Agaricaceae. The cap color is typically white, and it can reach a diameter of about 3 to 8 centimeters (1.2 to 3.1 inches).
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]
The mushroom cap is between 1.5–7 cm, [3] and grows from egg-shaped when young to broadly convex, finally ending up nearly flat. [4] The cap's color starts yellow or bright yellow, and fades to whitish or greyish with age. [5]
The mushroom is stalkless and the cap is rust-brown or darker brown, sometimes with black zones. The cap is flat, up to 8 × 5 × 0.5–1 cm in area. It is often triangular or round, with zones of fine hairs. The pore surface is whitish to light brown, with pores round and with age twisted and labyrinthine. 3–8 pores per millimeter.
The mushroom flesh can range from pale to the color of red wine (vinaceous), and has no distinctive odor. It oozes a red latex when cut. [12] The gills have an adnate attachment to the stem, meaning they are more or less directly attached to it. They are initially whitish or "grayish vinaceous" in color, and can develop reddish-brown stains.
The fruit bodies of the mushroom have brown to yellow-brown caps that fade in color when drying. The gills are brownish and give a rusty spore print. A well-defined membranous ring is typically seen on the stems of young specimens but often disappears with age. In older fruit bodies, the caps are flatter and the gills and stems browner.
The spore deposit is a light rusty saffron color. The spores have an elongated ellipsoid shape with a finely punctate (studded with punctures) to almost smooth surface, and measure 8.5–10 by 4.4 μm. The basidia (the spore-bearing cells) are 20–30 by 5–8 μm. [5] Fruit bodies of C. cinnamomeus are used in mushroom dyeing to produce a ...
Galerina fruiting bodies are typically small, undistinguished mushrooms with a typical "little brown mushroom" morphology and a yellow-brown, light brown to cinnamon-brown spore print. The pileus is typically glabrous and often hygrophanous , and a cortina -type veil is present in young specimens of roughly half of recognized species, though it ...
