In this image, we can see bottle-shaped cystidia and basidia. A cystidium is the term used to describe a cell that has developed into a specialized structure in mushrooms. Cystidia are generally considered to be sterile cells; however, they may also function as a sexual organ.

The spores of Pholiota spumosa are ellipsoid and have an apical germ pore. The spore print is white or cream-colored. This mushroom can grow on stumps, logs, and soil in forests. It has been seen growing with other mushrooms such as Boletus edulis, Lactarius deterrimus, and Tricholoma saponaceum.

Pholiota spumosa is a type of fungus that belongs to the family Strophariaceae. The species name "spumosa" comes from the Latin word for "foam," which refers to the white foam-like mass on top of the mushroom's cap when it is fresh. This mushroom is also known as the "foamy Pholiota.". – AI vision
