Specimen notes
Public Note:
on Compost heap of deciduous leaves from introduced trees; height to 15 cm, pileus: hemispheric, 7.5 - 8 cm diam., white, becoming creamy white when old. Surface smooth, dull, like chamois leather. Some minute concentric cracks in skin near margin. Flesh thick, white, dense; stipe: 1.8 cm at top. Possibly hollow, possibly distinct from cap, but insect damage makes this uncertain. White dull surface, faintly striate, strongly bulbous. Ring, white superior, membranous, thin where attached to stipe and thick, with double structure at its margin. Lower ring more massive and split into star-like rays, upper one with a jagged margin where torn from the cap. Copious white mycelium binding the litter together at the base; gills: free,with gap between their inner edge and the stipe. White, very crowded, long and short, free margin jagged. Fawnish tinge, esp. in age; spores: print not obtained, probably white.
