    It happens to me all the time. There are so many similarities between some mushies that it is easy to forget (especially if tired/under stress/in pain). Posted 4 years ago

      Yep. And, since last year was so dry and complicated, I didn't see many mushrooms. Hopefully this year will be better! We have had a week now of rain nearly every day! Posted 4 years ago

        We are getting drenched too! Loads of mushies out, but so are the biting insects! 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.
