| Species: Order: Family: Local Names: |
Volvopluteus gloiocephalus. Agaricales. Pluteaceae. |
| Habitat: Cap: Stem: Season: Edibility: |
Gardens,
grassy fields, forest areas, and on accumulations of
vegetable
matter
like compost or woodchips piles. 5 - 15 cms diameter. 8 - 22.5 cms long. It is not unusual for a season of "spectacular" fruiting to be followed by several years with no appearance of the mushroom. Edible, although it is cited as mediocre or of poor quality. When picking any fungus for consumption,
caution should be exercised at all times.
