Ringless honey mushroom
Desarmillaria tabescens
A species of Desarmillaria.
Ringless honey mushrooms bear a strong resemblance to other honey mushroom varieties. A key distinguishing feature, however, is the absence of a ring on theless honey mushroom's stem—a fleshy, circular band found on its counterparts. This particular mushroom acts as a wood decomposer, showing a distinct predilection for dead oak wood.
