Leucocoprinus cepistipes (often spelled cepaestipes), is a mushroom that is commonly found in the parks and gardens of California, though uncommonly in their native woods. It is typically found on wood debris, such as wood chips. Typical characteristics include a fine-scaled bell-shaped cap, a partial veil, and a tendency to bruise a yellow to brown when handled.
The edibility is not well known, but Leucocoprinus cepistipes is not recommended.
