Colours of the rainbow
Spore prints from the Tricholomataceae are white, off-white,
pale pink or pale lilac, but in most other macroscopic characteristics
there is great diversity within the group. Gills may be adnexed, adnate or
decurrent; stipes may have a ring or no ring; and the caps come in the
full range of fungus colours - white, yellow, orange, brown, green
and grey. And even blue... |

There is a lot more information about members of
the family Tricholomataceae on the First Nature CD-ROM Guide to Fungi...
Using much larger, high-quality pictures (because of the extra storage
space available and the much higher speed of access to large picture files
on CD), the guide shows hundreds of beautiful fungi at various stages of
development; and we have also photographed several specimens to show the
colour variations that can occur. |
