Tanayji, Thanks for the identifying this mushroom - Pleuteus longistriatus.
The stalk/stipe color changes because of the pink spore dispersal on it is really an enchanting learning, This means the spores should be truly microscopic in nature to give that fine finish to the the stipe. Coherent and logical. After all, its nature's wonderful handiwork! I appreciate people studying mushrooms. Regards Raghu Pluteus - A large genus of fungi belonging to the family Pluteaceae; the shape of the cap resembles a roof; often abundant early in the summer Pluteaceae - A family of fungi belonging to the order Agaricales Agaricales - Typical gilled mushrooms belonging to the subdivision Basidiomycota ________________________________ From: tanay bose <[email protected]> To: raghu ananth <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Sun, 6 June, 2010 8:18:35 PM Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:37380] Small white mushrooms for ID | 07Jun10 AR02 Dear Raghu Ji, I hope the mushroom isPleuteus longistriatus see the mature basidiocarp on he first picture the stipe is light pink in colour where as its powdery white in young ones the reason is "the mature mushroom is dispersing spores which is pink in colour and it sticks to the powdery surface of the stipe turning it pink with maturity". I really appreciate your angles of photography this type of photographs help in ID a lot when it comes to mushroom and lichens.
