Pseudohygrocybe (a group of waxcaps)
Further Information
| Notes (MWS) | Characterised by subregular hymenophoral trama with rather short inflated cells rarely more than 200microns long. The following groups belong here: Sombre coloured waxcaps without decurrent gills. Very viscid species with both stipe and cap so sticky as to be difficult to pick up. Red-orange species with yellow or crenate margin or scaly caps. All brightly coloured species with subdecurrent gills. But other species are less distinctive. |
