Mexican Mushroom


The cap is 1/2 inch to 4 inches wide. For the first few hours cone-shaped, quickly becomes convex, then flat and finally edges uplift, forming a bowl-shaped cap in the mature mushroom (age 24-48 hours after the rain).

The bowl-shaped cap will have an umbo or may become a depression. A sticky protective film will be observed over the entire cap in fresh specimens. The color varies widely, from an almost pure white with a gold center-spot to an overall light-brown still retaining the gold center-spot.

This species becomes translucent when it has absorbed excess water. At this time the cap (except for the center spot) will appear a dark-olive which is actually the dark spore color showing through. Both the water-soaked and normal specimens will dry to a yellow-rust color still retaining the orange-to-gold center spot.
