Description |
||
Wrinkled Peach is a small to medium-sized, easily recognized but infrequently found gill mushroom. It is found scattered or in small groups on fallen, rotting hardwoods, especially on elm but occasionally also on basswood and maple. It is saprobic, getting its nutrients from well-decayed wood. The stalk (stipe) is 1¼″to The cap is The flesh is pinkish, firm, and rubbery. It is considered inedible due to its bitter taste, but at least one source (Roger’s Mushrooms) lists the taste as mild. The gills are thick, closely spaced, and broadly attached to the stipe. They are similar in color to, but slightly paler than, the cap. The spore print is pinkish. |

Glossary
Pellicle
A thin, outer, gelatinous membrane on the surface of the cap of a mushroom.
Saprobic
A term often used for saprotrophic fungi. Referring to fungi that obtain their nutrients from decayed organic matter.
Stipe
A supporting stalk-like structure lacking vascular tissue: in fungi, the stalk supporting the mushroom cap; in ferns, the stalk connecting the blade to the rhizome; in flowering plants, the stalk connecting the flower’s ovary to the receptacle; in orchids; the band connecting the pollina with the viscidium.
Universal veil
An egg-like structure that envelopes all or most of a developing gill mushroom. Remnants of the universal veil sometimes visible on a mature mushroom are patchy warts on the cap, a ring on the stalk, and a volva at the base of the stalk.
Increasing
Before the middle of the twentieth century this mushroom was rare in North America. With the advance of Dutch elm disease the number of dead elms has greatly increased as has the population of this mushroom.
