Description
The cap of the decorated pholiota (Leucopholiota decorosa) often features dramatically pointed scales that are darkest at the tips where they curl up and away from the lighter cap surface. This works to create a beautiful contrasting pattern on the surface of these mushrooms. This feature makes them a delightful, although admittedly rare find for mushroom photographers.
