Mousepee Pinkgill - Entoloma incanum Cap: Convex with a central depression; dry; bright yellowish green<br />
Gills: Attached; nearly distant; short gills present; pale yellow<br />
Stem: Equal; somewhat greasy; hollow; similar color to cap; white basal mycelium<br />
Habitat: Leaf litter in a mixed forest<br />
<br />
*If you&#039;re wondering about the common name, &#039;mousepee&#039; is because the mushroom smells like mouse urine, and &#039;pinkgill&#039; is because the gills eventually turn pink with maturity.<br />
