Gliophorus pallidus
Horak
Description:
The orange tones of this species tend to fade as it ages, till it's almost white and not a green species that has faded to white as some have suggested. A short time ago, this species was combined with G. graminicolor, something I don't agree with, so I have kept them separate on this website. Recent sequencing has confirmed that this is not G. graminicolor
