Lab 5 Journal Entry - Jeremy Hansen
Crepidotus mollis, commonly known as Peeling Oysterling or Soft Slipper mushroom is
common to damp, dark areas across Europe and North America. They lack a visible
stem, and typically attach to a branch/trunk/stump at a single point, with gills that fan
outwards from this point. These gills eventually turn from white to brown as the fungus
matures. The genus Crepidotus was in fact created when mycologist Friedrich Staude
reclassified the Peeling Oysterling as Crepidotus (from the previously very vague genus
Agaricus).
