Lyophyllum decastes - or L. fumosum? (23714826802)

Image of Lyophyllaceae

Description:

this species is very common in late summer in dry pine forests around Ugut. Smaller clusters can be confused with another Lyophyllum species that was formerly thought to be L. fumosum - but now specialists say it's the valuable L. shimeji. It's a misunderstood group of species and only recently taxonomic research by a group of Swedish mycologists supported by molecular studies made the picture clearer. anyway, this species is edible and very tasty!
