Pholiota decorata

The cap of Pholiota decorata is about 2-8 centimeters in diameter. It is convex, sometimes flattening in age. It is cream-colored with a brown center. The stipe is between 3 and 9 centimeters long and 0.3-1 centimeters wide. When the mushroom is young, a veil covers the gills. When the mushroom matures, the veil leaves tissue on the stipe.^[1] The gills vary from sinuate to adnate. They start out white or yellowish, before becoming hazel and eventually the color of clay.^[2] The spore print is brown.^[1]

Pholiota decorata grows from duff and wood.^[1] It is commonly found in conifer forests in the Pacific Northwest.^[3]
