Hygrophorus chrysodon, commonly known as the flaky waxy cap,[1] or gold flecked woodwax [2] is a species of fungus in the genus Hygrophorus.[3] It is edible but bland in taste.[4][5] The species is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere.[6]
The specific epithet chrysodon is Greek for 'golden tooth', a reference to the species' gold-hued granules or hairs, which are found on the cap (especially near the edge), stipe, and gills.[6]
Description
The caps reach 4–14 centimetres (1 1⁄2–5 1⁄2 inches), with gills subdecurrent to decurrent.[7] The fruit bodies are white, sometimes with a tinge of yellow.[6]
