Bolbitius titubans, also known as Bolbitius vitellinus, is a widespread species of inedible mushroom found in America and Europe. It grows chiefly on dung or heavily fertilized soil, and sometimes on grass.
Description
The cap is between 1.5-5 cm, and grows from egg-shaped when young to broadly convex, finally ending up nearly flat.[1] The cap's color starts yellow or bright yellow, and fades to whitish or greyish with age.[2] The gills are free from the stem or narrowly attached to it, are fragile and soft, and fade from whitish or pale yellowish to rusty cinnamon with age.[1] The stem is 3-10 cm tall and 2-4 mm wide, is whitish-yellow with a fine mealy powdering, and is very delicate.[3]
