Chrysomphalina chrysophylla is a species of mushroom with a north temperate distribution. Described by Elias Magnus Fries in 1821, it was placed in the genus Chrysomphalina by Swiss mycologist Heinz Clémençon in 1982.[1]
The yellow caps are 1–5 centimetres (1⁄2–2 in) wide and the stems 1–4 cm (1⁄2–1+1⁄2 in) long. The spore print is yellowish. It may resemble C. aurantiaca or Gerronema strombodes.[2]
