Description
The wrinkled cap underside of the crimped gill (Plicaturopsis crispa) looks like gills, but structurally these folds are not true gills. This mushroom is also characterized by the lovely scalloped edges of the caps, which often grow in overlapping clusters and give an impression of lace when viewed from the underside.
