🎞️ #2862-14

The image presents a close-up view of three mushrooms with pale caps lying on an old forest road.

The mushroom caps are pale and fleshy. The background is composed of dry leaves and twigs that appear to be from a deciduous tree, such as oak or beech. The ground appears damp. A small twig is visible in the center of the image, running diagonally across the photo.

The mushrooms could be Melanoleuca subpulverulenta, although it is impossible to say for certain without additional context and information about the location where they were found.

Melanoleuca subpulverulenta is a species of fungus in the family Tricholomataceae that was first described by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1914. It contains the pigments melanin and leucin, which give it its blackish coloration. The mushroom has been found growing on decaying wood from deciduous trees such as oak (Quercus spp.) and beech (Fagus spp.). Its fruit bodies are medium-sized and have a distinctive shape: they have an angular or lobed cap that is initially convex but flattens out with age, measuring 3–8 cm in diameter. The gills are crowded and free from the stem, which can range in color from pale yellow to dark brown. – AI vision
