Caps
The cap can be deer-brown, or light ochre-brown to dark brown, with a variable admixture of grey or black; very young mushrooms may have a totally brown cap
After our almost-tornado today ("rotation" over downtown), look what big mushrooms just sprouted in our backyard!
The famous German mycologist Paul Kummerin in 1871 gave the deer mushroom, Pluteus cervinus (deer shield, or fawn mushroom), its present scientific name. This wood-rotting mushroom is widespread and very common in Britain and Ireland, is also found throughout Europe, and also grows in North America.
