Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....

[Fungus]

how do you note the difference between the two species ?

 

S. aeruginosa : gills whitish pink to lilac-brown with white (sterile) edge, ring striate, fibrillose-membranous, turning brown by the ripened spores

S. caerulea (= S. cyanea) : gills pale reddish brown to dark brown without white edge, ring imperfect, often disappearing

The descriptions are from page 245 of my Encyclopaedia and are also on my CD-rom.
