Herb. Pleurocystidia and cheilocystidia similar 40–65 x 5–15 µm lageniform, with a long neck and a rounded or subclavate apex smooth thin-walled hyaline in KOH.
Basidia usually 4-sterigmate, but occasionally 2-sterigmate. Microscopic Features: Spores 7–11 x 4–6 µm broadly amygdaliform to subellipsoid verrucose reddish brown in KOH often with a loosening perispore. Odor: Not distinctive, or slightly mealy (crush the flesh between your fingers).Ĭhemical Reactions: KOH red to dull red on cap surface. Stem: 2–7.5 cm long 3–8 mm thick more or less equal dry bald or, when fresh and young, flecked with whitish fibrils usually featuring a thin, whitish to rusty brown, collapsed, bracelet-like ring but sometimes with only a ring zone or without veil remnants at all whitish to brownish, turning dark brown to reddish brown from the base up basal mycelium white.įlesh: Insubstantial yellowish to watery brownish unchanging when sliced.
Gills: Broadly attached to the stem or just beginning to run down close or nearly distant short-gills frequent yellowish at first, eventually becoming rusty brown or brownish as the spores mature not bruising but sometimes becoming spotted in appearance in old age at first covered by a whitish partial veil. The illustrated and described collections are from Illinois, Colorado, and Québec.Ĭap: 1.5–5 cm (rarely up to 8 cm) convex at first, becoming broadly convex or nearly flat-or, sometimes, slightly bell-shaped sticky when fresh or wet, otherwise tacky to dry bald at first honey yellow with an orangish hue, becoming cinnamon to brownish orange often fading markedly as it dries out, creating a two-toned appearance the margin sometimes adorned with whitish veil remnants when very young, usually becoming naked and finely lined at maturity.
This mushroom appears in older field guides as "Galerina autumnalis," but a 2001 DNA study (Gulden and collaborators) has synonymized that species-along with Galerina oregonensis, Galerina unicolor, and Galerina venenata-with the older, European species first described in the 18th century, Galerina marginata.Įcology: Saprobic on the rotting wood of fallen hardwoods and conifers (in the Midwest, often but not exclusively found on the deadwood of eastern cottonwood) causing a stringy white rot usually growing in clusters, but occasionally growing gregariously or alone most frequent in spring and fall, but found year-round widely distributed and common in North America. Galerina marginata can be found just about any time during the year, though it is more frequent, in temperate areas, anyway, in the spring and fall. Potential look-alikes include, depending on your familiarity with mushrooms, species of Armillaria (with a white spore print), Pholiota (spore print dark brown rather than rusty brown, cap often scaly), and the wood-inhabiting species of Hypholoma (generally larger, spore print dark brown to purplish brown).
