    So pretty! Do you know what those small, crossvein-like gills on the left side are called? Posted 4 years ago

      I think they are just called "cross-veins", no? It looks like this one was thinking of making a rose-comb structure, but decided against it : Posted 4 years ago

The Waxy laccaria

"Laccaria laccata" is a white-spored species of small edible mushroom found throughout North America and Europe. It is a highly variable mushroom, and can look quite washed out, colorless and drab, but when younger it often assumes red, pinkish brown, and orange tones.
