Douglas fir cone mushroom
Strobilurus trullisatus
A species of Strobilurus.
The Strobilurus trullisatus, also known as the douglas fir cone mushroom, frequently emerges from fallen cones of the Douglas fir. These mushrooms are notably small, with stems slender enough to nestle between the scales of conifer cones. Their usual hue is a vivid white, sometimes exhibiting a faint pinkish tint. The cap is predominantly flat, with its edges curling downwards to reveal closely packed gills.
