Volvariella gloiocephala
    #13368386 - 10/21/10 08:12 PM (13 years, 4 months ago)

I'm pretty sure I know what this is, but I'd like some feedback. :smile:

Habitat:
Found in the greater Sacramento area, California.  Growing from grass near a mix of trees, none of the immediate ones being oak, but there where some close by.

Gills:
Salmon pink, not attached.

Stem:
11.5 cm long, gradually thickening towards the bulbous base with the top being 1 cm and the base being 3 cm thick. White, fleshy & fibrous, solid, and emerging from a vague volva (It was more apparent yesterday when I first spotted the mushroom).

Cap:
6.5 cm diameter, greyish/white, fleshy, margin somewhat striate, and smooth to viscid when moist.

Spore print color:
Salmon pink.

Bruising:
Nothing observed.

Other information:
Sweet/fragrant scent easily likened to Volvariella gloiocephala I found semi-recently and had identified here at shroomery.
