Weeping Slimecap
A fairly large, slimy-capped member of Amanitaceae, long known as Limacella guttata. The pale pinkish-brown to yellow-brown cap is viscid when wet, and the white gills and membranous ring often weep droplets that dry to grey-brown spots. It has a mealy (flour-like) odour, and its gills or stem may stain olive. DNA studies separated it from Limacella in 2018 as the type of Limacellopsis.
Reported as edible in some European sources (Naturalis), but documentation is thin. It is a white-spored, ringed member of Amanitaceae and can be confused with deadly Amanita species, so it is not recommended.
Never eat a wild mushroom based on a web page — confirm with an expert.
Mycology is an evolving science: names, classifications and safety information change as research advances. Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
