An identification produced here is a laboratory result, not an edibility clearance. No page on this site tells you whether a mushroom can be eaten.
Dichotomous key Answer from the specimen in front of you, not from the picture you hoped it was. Each answer is a separate URL, so you can bookmark a node or send it to someone else.

Method Every record on Lamella is built the same way. Macroscopic characters are recorded in the order they are examined at the bench: cap, gills, stem, veil. Spore dimensions are given as a range of measured values in micrometres and are taken from a water mount at 1000x with a calibrated eyepiece, never from a photograph.
This site contains no foraging, cooking or edibility guidance of any kind. Records describe what a specimen is and what its chemistry does. They never describe what to do with it.
