| Tricholoma caligatum |
INDIANA MUSHROOMS
| Found late summer into fall. Young specimens will have a partial veil that covers and protects the gills; this will fall away and leave a large, frill-edged ring on the stem. The stem is white above the ring and brown with scales below. A similar species, Tricholoma magnivelare, grows under conifers. |
