Livid Pinkgill

– Cap convex to expanded, yellow-white to grayish, sometimes with a pink hue, smooth, innately fibrillose.
– Gills adnexed, quite widely spaced, initially whitish to yellowish, turning more pinkish as the spores mature.
– Stem white, robust.
– Flesh white, smells flour-like, sometimes musty with a hint of rancid oil.

One of the largest species in its genus. It sometimes appears early in the year and can co-occur with the similar-looking and edible Calocybe gambosa.
