Stinking Dapperling- Journal Entry
One of the mushrooms observed on our bioblitz was the Stinking Dapperling (Lepiota Cristata). They are part of the most widespread fungi in the genus Lepiota. The fruiting body is easily distinguished by the reddish-orange concentric scales on the caps, while the rest of the body is lighter-colored. These mushrooms are commonly known as poisonous, although there is evidence that points to them not commonly containing amatoxins or phallotoxins from different regions in Turkey. It's good to understand what exactly makes a mushroom inedible. That way we can rule out false potential causes to advance scientific knowledge and improve medicine.
