The scientific name of the yellow-footed micropore (Microporus xanthopus) translates to “tiny-pored yellow foot.” Its short stem is usually yellow, leading up to a concave, funnel-like cap. The species is common in all the tropics of the world outside of the Americas. The striated, multi-hued caps grow largest in wet, darkly-shaded locations.

5. Sordid blewit
The sordid blewit is a beautiful and attractive mushroom of the northern temperate zones around the world. The flesh is pink or purple when young, and it turns brownish as the mushroom matures. It forms so-called fairy rings. Although the sordid blewit is easily identified, inexperienced mushroom hunters can confuse it for certain Clitocybe species.
