Conocybe dairy (O le t. know apala, [syn. Milk conocybe, Conocybe albipes]) is a species of fungus from the Bolbitiaceae family.
Ua:
White or whitish, often with yellowness, 0,5-2,5 cm in diameter, initially closed, almost ovoid, then bell-shaped; never completely opens, the edges of the cap are often quite uneven. The flesh is very thin, yellowish.
Faamaumauga:
Loose, very frequent, narrow, greyish-cream at first, becoming clay-coloured with age.
Spora pauta:
Umu-enaena.
Vaʻa:
Length up to 5 cm, thickness 1-2 mm, white, hollow, straight, easily split. The ring is missing.
Faʻasalalau:
Milky white conocybe grows all summer in the grass, preferring irrigated places. The fruiting body decomposes very quickly, like the similar Bolbitius vitellinus. A day, at most one and a half – and he is gone.
Ituaiga tutusa:
A little like the golden bolbitus mentioned above, but it still has a bright yellow color. There are not as many small one-day mushrooms as it seems. Conocyne lactea differs from dung beetles in the color of the spore powder (in those it is black).
