| Morphological Description
|
The mushroom cap diameter is 5cm, the stipe length is 10cm, and the width of the stipe is 1cm. The cap is orange in colour with black bruising and has an umbonate shape. From the top of the cap, lines from the gills are visible due to it being thin and slightly transparent. The stipe is a light green colour with black bruising from where it was bent and near the bottom from when it was picked. The stipe was hollow, fibrous, and slimy. The spores have no colour and are ellipsoid in shape ranging from (15-7.5)µm to (10-3.75)µm. The gills were white with black/dark purple bruising and had a free shape. The smell of the mushroom was indistinct. |
