Marasmius plicatulus, also known as the red pinwheel or pleated marasmius, is a North American species of fungus.
Description
The cap is mahogany with a velvety texture and up to 4 centimetres (1+1⁄2 in) wide.[1][2] The gills are adnate, widely spaced, and pallid to pinkish. The stipe is dark, smooth, up to 13 cm (5 in) long and 3 mm (1⁄8 in) thick.[1][2][3] The spore print is white.[2] It is too tough and thin for consideration as edible.[2]
It is the largest Marasmius species found on the North American West Coast.[4][5] Some members of the genus from further east are vaguely similar.[1]
Habitat and distribution
The red pinwheel is often found in association with oak trees or conifers.[5] From November to February, it is common on the Pacific coast,[1] but it has been observed as far inland as Idaho.[5]
