Cuphophyllus canescens is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae, known from North America. In its wide sense (including the recently separated C. atlanticus) it has been assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]

Taxonomy

The species was first described from

DNA sequences, Cuphophyllus canescens has, however, been found to be restricted to North America.[4]

Similar species

Cuphophyllus atlanticus is very similar, but is said to have a pure gray to bluish gray cap and (microscopically) larger, subglobose spores.[4]
