Pluteus plautus, commonly known as the flatfoot deer mushroom[1] or satin shield,[2] is a species of mushroom in the family Pluteaceae. It is found in the UK[3] and the Pacific Northwest, though it is uncommon in the Pacific Northwest.[1]
Description
The cap of Pluteus plautus is brown to beige in color and about 3-7 centimeters in diameter. It starts out dome-shaped and becomes convex or flat as the mushroom matures.[1] The gills are pinkish buff in color and free.[2] The stipe is whitish in color and scaly on the lower half. It is fibrous and has a slightly bulbous base.[4] It is about 2.5-3.5 centimeters long and 0.3-0.4 centimeters wide.[2] The spore print is salmon pink, and pleurocystidia are present.[1]
Habitat and ecology
Pluteus plautus is found on wood. While it typically grows on hardwoods, it is occasionally also found on conifers.[4][1]
