"Shaggy Stalked Parasol"

Morphology

A slender graceful mushroom with an oval or bell-shaped cap, 2-8 cm. wide, becoming convex to nearly plane with a low broad umbo in age. The surface of the cap is dry with brown to yellow-brown scales. The center of the cap is smoother and darker brown breaking into scattered scales towards the cap margin. Cap margin and stalk may be littered with cottony veil remnants. Gills are white, close and free. A soft cottony veil usually leaves remnants clinging to the cap margins or as a cottony-fibrillose ring on the stalk. The fragile stalk is 4 to 12 cm long, slender and equal with cottony scales clinging below the veil. Spore print white, basidiospores fusiform (12-20x4-6 microns), smooth and dextrinoid.

Ecology

Widely distributed in North America, fruiting mainly in the fall and winter in the Pacific Northwest where it favors mature Douglas Fir stands. Maybe solitary, scattered or in small groups. These specimens were found in an old growth stand with little understory vegetation in Lane County, Oregon. They were found scattered across a south facing slope in mid November.
