A lot of respect for identifying such generic looking fungi, I could never do that. Posted 7 years ago

  Thanks, but me either. I rely on experts for helping me ID mushrooms like this one. I had no idea what it was in the field ;P. I think it must take years of study and practice to be proficient at mushroom ID! Posted 7 years ago

    Absolutely. I bought a book that has most fungi in the Netherlands documentend and I still can't figure it out :) Posted 7 years ago

      Yep. I try to use my guides first, but always seek help for confirmation because my guesses are wrong at least half the time! There are so many similar mushrooms! Posted 7 years ago

The Pleated Pluteus

This small grayish-brown Pluteus can be recognized by the long striations that extend from the cap margin nearly to the center of the cap, revealing whitish flesh in the cracks.
