Description
Powdercaps are small mushrooms often recognized by their distinctive powdery caps, giving them a slightly granulated appearance. They typically grow on forest floors, favoring mossy areas. One of their remarkable traits is a universal veil that remains as a powdery or flaky coating on the cap. They display a range of colors from yellow to brown, making them quite varied and visually appealing in their natural habitats.
