About Chlorophyllum rhacodes Mycelium

Chlorophyllum rhacodes, commonly called the Shaggy Parasol, is a saprotrophic fungus in the family Agaricaceae. Its mycelium develops on nutrient-rich soils, leaf litter, and decomposing organic matter, contributing to decomposition and nutrient cycling in grasslands and forest ecosystems.

Medium to large caps with brownish scales on pale background

White to cream gills and central stem

Growth on forest floors, grasslands, and humus-rich soils

Often found singly or in small clusters
