Tubaria furfuracea, commonly known as the scurfy twiglet,[1] totally tedious tubaria,[2] or fringed tubaria,[3] is a common species of agaric fungus in the family Tubariaceae.
Taxonomy
It was first described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1801, as a species of Agaricus.[4] French mycologist Claude-Casimir Gillet transferred it to the genus, Tubaria in 1876.[5]
Description
The mushroom cap is 1–4 cm wide, orange-brown, convex to flat and depressed, with small marginal patches of veil which disappear with age or rain; its odor is mild.[6] The gills are brown and adnate to slightly decurrent.[6] The stalk is 1–6 cm tall and 2–4 mm wide.[6][2] The spores are pale reddish-brown, elliptical, and smooth.[6] The spore print is brown.[7]
This species is considered inedible.[8]
