The related genus " Chroogomphus " ( whose species were once classified in " Gomphidius " ), is distinguished by the lack of a partial veil.
22.
Mushrooms are characterized by their yellow caps with a brownish center and scales over the margin, and the conspicuous remains of a partial veil that is left on the stipe.
23.
Species are characterized by having a pinkish to pinkish-gray hymenophore, a membrane-like partial veil that hangs from the spores, and a trichoderm-like cap cuticle.
24.
The similar-looking " Hygrophorus russula " can be distinguished by its more crowded gills and preference for hardwood forests, and " H . purpurascens " has a partial veil.
25.
In some specimens of " S . luteus ", the partial veil separates from the stipe ( rather than the cap margin ), leaving cottony patches of veil hanging from the cap margin.
26.
Similar species include " Pholiota subminor " and " Pholiota velaglutinosa ", but the former grows on oak logs, while the latter has smaller spores and a non-gelatinous partial veil.
27.
All the species of " Pholiotina " with partial veils and some species without, including the type species, " P . vexans ", formed a monophyletic clade closely related to " Descolea ".
28.
The upper ring is derived from the partial veil ( which covered the lower surface of the cap before it opened ), whereas the thinner lower ring originally formed part of the universal veil ( which enveloped the whole mushroom ).
29.
The species was formerly consider synonymous with the North American lookalike " Amanita abrupta ", but that species has narrower spores, a persistent partial veil, and lacks the refractive contents found in the hyphae and inflated cells of " A . sphaerobulbosa ".
30.
"Suillus granulatus " is often confused with " Suillus luteus ", which is another common and widely distributed species occurring in the same habitat . " S . luteus " has conspicuous a partial veil and ring, and lacks the milky droplets on the pores.
