Volvariella murinella
Volvariella murinella
A species of Rosegills.
Volvariella murinella, a recognizable mushroom, commonly appears alone or in small clusters on woody detritus such as sawdust and fallen timber. It flourishes in damp environments, manifesting with a light-hued cap supported by a thin stalk. The cap's texture can be unblemished, and as it develops, Volvariella murinella typically unfurls to reveal its lamellae. These gills begin as light-toned but deepen in color over time due to spore development.
