Identification

{{ping| Hello. Hypholoma fasciculare is yellowish on top and the gills are yellow at first and then change to a distinctive greenish colour as the black spores develop. It is not like the mushroom in this photo, which I cannot identify. I feel I should have an idea what it should be (if it were a European fungus), but I do not - it makes me think of Pholiota more than anything. Perhaps it is a New Zealand speciality.

The same comment also applies to File:Sulphur tufts (hypholema fasciculare) (26478645813).jpg. Strobilomyces (talk) 10:14, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

I am afraid I still cannot think what genus this fungus might be in. I removed the folowing inappropriate text from the description.

Sulphur Tuft is a pale to bright sulphur yellow mushroom with a orange to brown coloured tip growing in groups or "tufts" on rotting wood in forests and woodlands to a height of about 18cm (7in) and 3-6cm (1.2-2.3in). A very common mushroom in most temperate forest regions. It can also be found on forestry wood chips used as a mulch and occasionally in grass, but will actually be growing on rotting buried tree roots. It is inedible containing poisons that can cause liver damage, symptoms are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and emesis. Spores are a purple-brown colour, gills greenish when immature, they smell a bit like iodine. Sulphur Tuft is not edible and can be mistaken for both the edible Hypholoma capnoides and for Honey Mushrooms of the Armillaria group.

I am going ahead and making this change; I hope that is OK. Strobilomyces (talk) 19:48, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Could this be Flammulina? Regards, Rudolphous (talk) 07:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
