Floccularia albolanaripes is a species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae. Mushrooms are characterized by their yellow caps with a brownish center and scales over the margin, and the conspicuous remains of a partial veil that is left on the stipe. The species grows in the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains of North America, and in India.

Taxonomy

The species was first

rhizomorphs were transferred to Floccularia in 1987.[3]

Description

The

cap cuticle. It has no distinguishable odor and a mild taste.[4] F. albolanaripes mushrooms are edible.[5]

The spore print is white. Spores are ellipsoid, smooth, and measure 6–8 by 4–4.5 µm.[6]

Similar species

The base form of species Floccularia luteovirens is similar in appearance, but can be distinguished from F. albolanaripes by its brighter yellow cap color with raised scales on the surface, and yellowish gills.[7] F. luteovirens forma straminea (which has sometimes been defined as a distinct species, F. straminea) is another lookalike with similar coloration and habitat preferences, but its cap features shaggy scales arranged in concentric zones, and it has light yellow gills.[8][9][10]
