Wine-cap Stropharia (white form) Stropharia rugosoannulata lutea    Synonyms: Stropharia rugosoannulata lutea.
Kingdom Fungi   >   Phylum Basidiomycota   >   Class Agaricomycetes   >   Order Agaricales   >   Family Strophariaceae   >   Genus Stropharia   

Status:

Compare typical Wine-cap Stropharia. This form may end up treated as a distinct species. It has a different odor, narrower spores, and a different reaction to KOH (J. Solem, pers. comm.). See notes at Michael Kuo's web site MushroomExpert.com. Typically found on mulch.

Description:

All parts white at all stages instead of wine-red to purple. The unpleasant odor, reaction to KOH as orange instead of olive green, narrower spores, and color distinguish it from the usual Wine-cap Stropharia. (J. Solem, pers. comm.)
