Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox Template:Short description Script error: No such module "infobox".
Hypholoma capnoides[1] is a mushroom in the family Strophariaceae. Found in both the Old and New World, it grows on decaying wood and is edible, though may resemble some poisonous species.
Description
The cap is up to Script error: No such module "convert". in diameter with yellow-to-orange-brownish or matt yellow colour, sometimes viscid.[2] It is convex then flattens in age.[3] The stipe is yellowish, somewhat rust-brown below, growing to Script error: No such module "convert". long.[4] The flesh is yellow.[3] The taste is mild, compared to most Hypholomas which are bitter.[5]
The gills are initially pale orangish-yellow, pale grey when mature, later darker purple to brown.[4] The spore print is dark burgundy to brown.[4]
Similar species
The poisonous Hypholoma fasciculare (sulphur tuft) is more common in many areas. H. capnoides has greyish gills due to the dark color of its spores, whereas sulphur tuft has greenish gills. It could also perhaps be confused with the deadly Galerina marginata or the good edible Kuehneromyces mutabilis.[5]
Additionally, it resembles members of Flammula and Pholiota.[4]
Distribution and habitat
Like its poisonous relative H. fasciculare ('sulphur tuft'), H. capnoides grows in clusters on decaying wood,[2] for example in tufts on old tree stumps, in North America, Europe, and Asia.[2]
Edibility
Though edible when cooked,[6][3] it could be confused with some poisonous species.
