| Volvariella bombycina |
INDIANA MUSHROOMS
| Cap up to 20cm across, finely fuzzy on top; margin frilled. Gills free, pink spore print. Grows from wood and emerges from a sack-like volva. |
| "My time has come." Volvariella bombycina emerging. |
| These images show a 12 hour time lapse. Note yellow layer on inside of volva; this probably gives the cap the yellow sheen it often exhibits. |
| Gills turn a dark pinkish hue (salmon) with age and is caused by the pink spores this mushroom produces. Rose Gill is a common name. |
| Eleven mushrooms at once on one tree. And a picture of three mushrooms and a mushroom geek. |
| Growing from decay/wound on a otherwise healthy maple tree. |

| Cooking with Volvariella bombycina. I rate this edible as fair; nothing to write home about. More gills than flesh. |
