Milky inkcap typically appears after rain, thriving in grassy areas like lawns and parks. This small species features a delicate, umbrella-like cap that usually has a white to cream color. When young, the cap shape is more bell-like, but as it matures, it opens and sometimes splits. Milky inkcap decomposes dead organic matter, contributing to soil health.
