Pluteus
''Pluteus'' is a large genus of fungi with over 300 species. They are wood rotting saprobes with pink spore prints and gills that are free from the stem. The Latin word ''Pluteus'' means ''shed or penthouse''. Characteristics of the genus Characteristics of the ''Pluteus'' genus are: #These fungi grow on wood or wood remains. #The spore powder is deep pink, soon giving a pink tint to the initially pale gills. #The gills are free from the stipe. #There is no volva or ring (exception: the rare recently reclassified North American species ''P. mammillatus'', previously ''Chamaeota sphaerospora''). #Microscopically, they often have abundant, distinctive cystidia. The spores are smooth and roughly egg-shaped. ''Pluteus'' is separated from ''Volvariella'' due to the lack of a volva, and from ''Entoloma'' by growing on wood and by microscopic features (''Entolomas'' have angular spores). Naming The name ''Pluteus'' was established in 1837 by the founding mycologist Elias Magnus ...

List Of Pluteus Species
This is an incomplete list of species in the agaric genus ''Pluteus''. Species of ''Pluteus'' are commonly found growing on woody substrates including stumps, logs, fallen branches, woody debris such as sawdust, and buried wood. Three sections are widely accepted in ''Pluteus'', including ''Pluteus'', ''Hispidoderma'' Fayod, and ''Celluloderma'' Fayod. Section ''Pluteus'' is characterized by fruit bodies with a filamentous cap cuticle (pileipellis) and thick-walled pleurocystidia A cystidium (plural cystidia) is a relatively large cell found on the sporocarp of a basidiomycete (for example, on the surface of a mushroom gill), often between clusters of basidia. Since cystidia have highly varied and distinct shapes that ar .... Section ''Hispidoderma'' consists of species with a filamentous pileipellis and thin-walled pleurocystidia. Section ''Celluloderma'' is defined by a cystoderm pileipellis composed of ellipsoid to saccate-pyriform to vesiculose cells with or without cysti ...

Pluteus Nevadensis
''Pluteus nevadensis'' is a species of fungus in the agaric family Pluteaceae. Described as new to science in 2010, the species is known only from subtropical and pine forests in Mexico, where it grows on rotting pine and oak wood. Fruit bodies (mushrooms) have red-orange caps up to in diameter with a shape ranging from conic, convex, or flattened, depending on their age. The silky yellow stems are up to long. It is similar in appearance to '' Pluteus aurantiorugosus'', with which it shares an orange- or scarlet-colored cap and a yellow stem. ''P. nevadensis'' can be distinguished from this and other superficially similar ''Pluteus'' species by differences in microscopic characteristics. Taxonomy The species was described by Olivia Rodríguez in 2010 in the journal ''Mycotaxon'', based on collections made in 1991. The holotype material was collected on the Colima volcano, in the Municipality of Zapotlán el Grande, at an elevation of . The species was formerly referre ...

Pluteus Cervinus
''Pluteus cervinus'', also known as ''Pluteus atricapillus'' and commonly known as the deer shield or the deer or fawn mushroom, is a mushroom that belongs to the large genus ''Pluteus''. It is found on rotten logs, roots and tree stumps and is widely distributed. It can also grow on sawdust and other wood waste. Being very variable in appearance, it has been divided into several varieties or subspecies, some of which are sometimes considered species in their own right. It is edible when young, but considered by some to be of poor quality and is not often collected for the table. Taxonomy The species name, ''cervinus'', although generally thought to refer to the colour of the cap, actually refers to antler-like protrusions on its prominent thick-walled pleurocystidia (of which there can be one to three). Description The cap ranges from in diameter. Initially it is bell-shaped, and often wrinkled when young. Later it expands to a convex shape. The cap can be deer-brown, but ...

Pluteus Salicinus
''Pluteus salicinus'' is a European psychedelic mushroom that grows on wood. It is an edible mushroom after parboiling. Taxonomy The species was originally described by Christian Hendrik Persoon as ''Agaricus salicinus'' in 1798. Paul Kummer transferred it to the genus ''Pluteus'' in 1871. Description *Cap: 2 — 5(8) cm in diameter, convex becoming broadly convex to plane, silver-gray to brownish-gray, often with blue or greenish tint in age, smooth, with tiny scales near the center, darker at the margin, slightly translucent-striate when moist, unlined cap margin, flesh white with a grayish tinge, thin to moderate. Cap skin fibrous. *Gills: Crowded, broad, free, at first white, becoming pink-flesh colored; ventricose. Edges discoloring or bruising grayish. *Stipe: 3 — 5(10) long, 0.2 — 0.6 cm thick, more or less equal or slightly swollen at the base, flesh white with grayish-green to bluish-green tones, especially near the base. Ring absent. Firm, full or stuffed. *Ta ...

Pluteus Brunneidiscus
''Pluteus brunneidiscus'' is a species of agaric fungus in the family Pluteaceae. It was first described scientifically by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1917. It is found in Europe (Spain) and North America. Description Pileus and stipe without blue-green tinges.

Pluteus Leoninus
''Pluteus leoninus'', commonly known as lion shield, can occasionally be found growing on dead wood in Europe and North Africa. The underside of the cap is typical of the genus ''Pluteus'' — the gills are pale, soon becoming pink when the spores ripen. But the upper surface is a bright tawny or olivaceous yellow. The species name ''leoninus'' (meaning leonine) refers to this cap colour. Description This description is combined from several references. *The golden to olive-yellow convex cap is 3–7 cm in diameter, is hygrophanous, and usually has a grooved edge. The darker central disc has a slight velvety tomentum. *The gills are yellowish at first, then salmon pink (the colour of the spore powder). *The stipe is up to about 7 cm, often striate, being white to cream, and often darker near the base. *The mushroom grows on stumps and wood debris of broad-leaved trees and sometimes of conifers. *At the microscopic level, the filamentous cap cuticle is a trichoderm. ...

Pluteus Phaeocyanopus
''Pluteus phaeocyanopus'' is an agaric fungus in the family Pluteaceae. Described as a new species in 2010, it has only been collected from California, where it grows singularly or in groups on the decaying wood of oak. The fruit body has a smooth brown cap measuring in diameter. The stipe is long by thick, and roughly equal in width throughout. It is whitish but becomes grayish-green near the base.
