This account is a fun little account where I post a mushroom pic a day (when possible). All pictures are mine- do NOT reuse without my permission.

I am NOT an expert. All mushrooms are safe to touch, sniff, etc... Make sure you confirm ID before eating.

Yeah common names can be bothersome!

These seemed to have more pronounced false gills compared to C lutescens but i'm not 100% sure.
