Confusion with another mushroom[edit]
There are two fairly different species of mushroom which have unfortunately been confused under the name Stropharia aurantiaca .
The first is Leratiomyces squamosus var. thraustus in Wikimedia Commons; it has a slender stem and prominent scales below the ring zone. The second is this one, Leratiomyces ceres, which has a thicker stem, often grows on wood chips, and is a recent introduction in Europe.
According to Species Fungorum the correct current name of the first is Psilocybe aurantiaca (Cooke) Noordel. (But surely this is an error as it must be a Leratiomyces?) The name Stropharia aurantiaca (Cooke) Imai was correctly applied to this species.[1] The current name of the second species is Leratiomyces ceres (Cooke & Massee) Spooner & Bridge (2008).[2]
In Funga Nordica the first is subsumed into Leratiomyces squamosus and the second has its own species entry, but with wrong synonymy.[3]
In Eyssartier the first is mentioned under L. squamosus as variety thaustrum and there is a photo of the second. [4]
In Courtecuisse there are nice illustrations of the two on the same page. The first is called Psilocybe thaustra and the second wrongly Stropharia aurantiaca.[5]
