| Pluteus admirabilis |
| See Pluteus admirabilis at Fungi Growing on Wood See also Fungi of Iowa |
| These dainty little yellow "Pluts" were growing from decaying wood that was hidden beneath the leaf litter. The caps of Pluteus admirabilis are very small; up to 3cm, those shown here are about 2cm wide (less than an inch). Another yellow capped Pluteus, P. flavofuligineus, is much larger overall and the cap is smooth and velvety; it also has a white stem, not yellow as in P. admirabilis. |
| As with all species of Pluteus, Pluteus admirabilis grows from wood, has gills that are not attached to the stalk (free), and produces a pink spore print. |
