Gymnopus confluens (Pers.:Fr.) Antonín, Halling & Noordel. |
The cap is brownish-pink to ochre-pink. The cap surface is smooth, not viscid nor sticky. The stem is white to brown, without ring. The flesh is white, unchanging; its taste is mild; its texture is fibrous. The gills are white to cream yellow, adnate, crowded . The spore print is white. This species is saprophytic. It grows on the ground, in tufts, in broad-leaved (sometimes coniferous) woods, on a rather acid soil, on litter (with beech, oak, spruce…). The fruiting period takes place from June to December.
Chemical tests : none. Distinctive features : flesh-pink colour; stem thin, darker than cap and easily detached, covered with white down, thicker on top; gills very crowded; in tufts Gymnopus confluens is quite rare and localised in the forest of Rambouillet, and is frequent, more generally speaking . | ||
