About Leucoagaricus roseilividus (Murrill) E.Ludw.

Leucoagaricus roseilividus (Murrill) E.Ludw. has a fibrillose cap that is purplish at the center and wine-colored or pink toward the outer regions. The cap starts out egg-shaped or hemispheric, and later becomes conical. Its gills are whitish. The stipe is white, measuring 4–9 centimeters long and 0.3 to 0.9 centimeters wide. A thin, usually upward-pointing ring grows around the stem; this ring sometimes disappears as the mushroom ages. The similar species Lepiota decorata is larger and less hairy than Leucoagaricus roseilividus. This mushroom occurs in coastal forests of the Pacific Northwest. It grows under coastal redwood and Monterey cypress trees, and also in cedar and alder leaf litter.
