Leucocoprinus bakeri is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae.[1][2]
Taxonomy
It was first described in 1952 by the British mycologist Richard William George Dennis who classified it as Lepiota bakeri.[3]
In 1982, it was reclassified as Leucocoprinus bakeri by the German mycologist Rolf Singer.[4]
Description
Leucocoprinus bakeri is a small dapperling mushroom with white flesh.[3]
Cap: 7 cm wide. Convex, with a pinkish-buff (light brownish yellow) surface and fine brown scales (squamules) and a brown umbo. It is striated at the edges of the cap. Stem: Bulbous at the base and tapering to the tip with a pinkish-buff surface that has woolly (tomentose) scales below the ring. The membranous stem ring is located towards the top of the stem (superior) and is white with brown edges. Gills: Free, crowded (5-6mm) and white. Spores: Elliptical, dextrinoid, 5-7 x 3.5-4 μm.[3]
