Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, the yellow houseplant mushroom, previously known as Lepiota lutea, is a common fungus that grows in many house plants, generally occurring in warmer areas, or in greenhouses or potted plants.
[edit] Description
The main identifying feature is the bright yellow colour of the mushrooms. The cap (pileus) in the young fruit-bodies is usually taller than broad, though becoming convex, often with shallow radial grooves near the margin, with maturity. There is a ring left on the stipe.
[edit] Edibility
This fungus is not edible and may be poisonous.[citation needed]
