Description

The Panther mushroom is also known as the Panther cap. Its cap is hemispheric at first, then grows through convex to plano-convex as it matures. The Panther mushroom's cap is pale brown in colour can grow from 4 to 11 centimeters in diameter. There are densely distributed white "warts" on the cap and can be easily removed. The cap margin is short striate. The gills of the Panther cap are white and become grayish and truncated as they mature. The stipe can grow from 5 to 14 centimeters tall and 0.6 to 2 centimeters in diameter. The volva is white and turns gray with age. The base is bulbous.
