Description
Hebeloma hiemale has a pale brownish or buff cap that can be convex or umbonate. The cap is about 1.5-5 centimeters in diameter.[1] The stipe is about 3-8 centimeters long and up to 1.5 centimeters wide.[2] The gills are sinuate and start out pale, becoming brown in age.[1] The spore print is brown.[2] This mushroom smells slightly of radishes.[3]
Habitat and ecology
Hebeloma hiemale is a mycorrhizal fungus that forms symbiotic relationships with both conifers and hardwoods. It fruits from spring until fall, and sometimes into winter if it is warm enough.[2]
