Smoky roundhead
Stropharia inuncta
A species of Roundheads.
The mushroom known as the smoky roundhead typically exhibits a cap ranging from brown to grayish in hue, characterized by a smooth and velvety feel. It commonly emerges from wood debris and can be discovered across diverse forested regions, particularly flourishing in moist, shaded conditions. Its stalk might possess a noticeable ring, and underneath the cap, the gills are distinctly separated and connect to the stem. The smoky roundhead engages in a mutually beneficial association with specific trees, playing a role in the breakdown of organic material.
