Humidicutis marginata is a gilled fungus of the waxcap family.
Taxonomy
[edit]The species was first described as Hygrophorus marginatus by Charles Horton Peck in 1876.[1] William Alphonso Murrill called it Hygrocybe marginata in 1916.[2] It was transferred to the new genus Humidicutis by Rolf Singer in 1958,[3] who had previously placed it in Tricholoma.[4]
Description
[edit]The orangish cap is up to 4 centimetres (1+1⁄2 in) wide and the yellowish stipe 9 cm (3+1⁄2 in) long. The spore print is white.[5]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]It is found in North America under trees.[5]
Edibility
[edit]It is considered edible with a pleasant taste, but one guide says it is "not worthwhile".[6]
