attachment, are moderately crowded. White at first, they gradually turn
yellow-brown or buff. |
Stipe |
Almost invariably no stipe at all. |
Spore print |
Pinkish buff. |
Odour/taste |
Not distinctive. |
Habitat |
On twigs in deciduous and mixed woodland and
at the base of hedgerows. |
Season |
August to November. |
Occurrence |
Very common. |
