Comments: This species is common in Ura forests and is distinguished by having a viscid yellowish pileus with dark fibrils. The pale yellow to buff lamellae of this species will distinguish it from similar species that have more rich and even yellow lamellae or species with pure white lamellae. Though the western books say it is inedible species people of Ura have ate and they have been selling in market, there is no complain of poisoning so far by consuming this species in Bhutan.
