    Is the "veil" some kind of extra layer? Posted 5 years ago

      The veil is a membranous structure that mushrooms have. There are 2 kinds: universal and partial. Some mushrooms have both types, while others just have one. I don't know if all mushrooms have a veil.

      A universal veil completely encloses the developing mushroom. It either disappears as the mushroom develops, or it leaves behind warts or patches on the cap and/or bits (called volva) at the base of the stem.

      A partial veil covers the gills/pores of maturing mushrooms (to protect them until they are mature and ready to release spores). It either disappears or forms a ring/ring zone on the stem as the mushroom matures.

      The mushroom in this photo has an example of universal veil remnants on the cap.

      But, this photo shows a partial veil covering the gills:
