Humidicutis marginata is a gilled fungus of the waxcap family.
Taxonomy
The species was first described as Hygrophorus marginatus by Charles Horton Peck in 1876.[1] William Alphonso Murrill called it Hygrocybe marginata in 1916.[2] It was transferred to the new genus Humidicutis by Rolf Singer in 1958,[3] who had previously placed it in Tricholoma.[4]
Edibility
It is considered edible with a pleasant taste, but one guide says it is "not worthwhile".[5]
