Leucocoprinus velutipes

Lepiota flavescens Beeli (1932) Leucocoprinus velutipes is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae.

[4] Beeli had classified the species as Lepiota flavescens apparently without realising that this name had already been used by the American mycologist Andrew Price Morgan in 1907.

Cap: 5-6cm wide, campanulate expanding to convex or flattened with a pronounced umbo.

The interior is slightly hollow and the surface is brownish-yellow with a brown shaggy coating from top to bottom.

Beeli and Heinemann's studies were based on specimens found in Zaire, Central Africa (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo)[6] where they were found near the town of Binga growing in groups on dead wood.
