About Tubaria conspersa (Pers.) Fayod
The cap of Tubaria conspersa ranges from convex to flat in shape, and measures approximately 7 millimeters to 2.5 centimeters in diameter. It is tannish in color, and its gills are adnate. The scaly stipe matches the cap in color, and the species produces a pale brown spore print.
Taxonomically, Tubaria conspersa was first described in 1800 by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, who classified it as Agaricus conspersus. In 1889, Victor Fayod moved the species to the genus Tubaria, giving it its current scientific name. Tubaria conspersa has been recorded in both Europe and the Pacific Northwest, but current thought holds that the populations from these two regions are actually distinct species.
