Taxon: Volvariella bombycina (Schaeff.) Singer
Family: Pluteaceae

Collector: Dave in NE PA   MUOB 25198   

Date: 2009-09-13

Verbatim Date: 2009-9-13

Locality: United States, Pennsylvania, Luzerne

41.1646  -75.9602

Elevation: 222-666 meters (728-2184ft)

Description: Original observation #25198 (Mushroom Observer)

Occurrence Remarks: I have found this type ony a few times. This one appears to be relatively fresh. The cap is densely hairy, which is not something reported in the field guides ("silky" is what I mainly see in the descriptions). This is the one reason why I did not check "I'd call it that." Large volva is rubbery. Waiting for some spores.
