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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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]

Similar species

[edit]

Similar species include T. confragosa,[6] T. conspersa, and members of Laccaria.[7]

Additionally, Galerina marginata and Psilocybe cyanescens may appear similar.[citation needed]
