Wrinkled club

Description:

Because the stem and the fertile upper section of the fruitbody are the same colour, white or cream or occasionally light grey, there is no clear delineation between the infertile and fertile surfaces. Some examples of this fungus branch but rarely spread out significantly, and many do not branch at all. The bluntish tips, which have wrinkled and uneven surfaces surfaces, are laterally compressed but not forked, and are usually 5 to 12 cm tall.

Habitat:

Considered to be mycorrhizal, singly or in small groups on the ground beneath deciduous and coniferous trees, very often beside footpaths.

Notes:

Spotted in Kroondomein Het Loo in rural area of Apeldoorn, Holland.(sources:see reference)
