Extract from Wikipedia article: Leucocoprinus ianthinus is a species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae. Like other Leucocoprinus species it may have originated in a tropical climate but now finds a home in plant pots, greenhouses and compost piles in many countries. Despite a widespread distribution it is seldom recorded and appears to be rarer than other Leucocoprinus species. It is not seen in plant pots with the same kind of regularity as the well known Leucocoprinus birnbaumii.
Swedish: Lilabrun veckskivling.
Leucocoprinus ianthinus is a species of mushroom that grows in clusters on rich soil, dung, or decaying organic matter. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits during the summer and early fall months, often appearing after heavy rainfall. The cap is 1-3 cm in diameter, bell-shaped to conical, and ranges in color from pale yellow to bright yellow with a darker yellow or orange center. The gills are free, crowded, and pale yellow. The stem is slender, 2-5 cm long, and the same color as the cap. It can be found in lawns, gardens, and along roadsides, particularly in areas with rich soil and ample moisture.
