| Summary: | <span>Sulphur yellow color fruiting bodies of a mushroom at several stages of development were found growing indoors, on decaying mosses (peat) inside a glass box in the University premises at Peradeniya in November 2018. The fungus was examined and identified by its morphological features, described previously, as <em>Leucocoprinus birnbaumii</em>. The present paper reports <em>L. birnbaumii</em> 110 years after its first record in Ceylon and describes its morphology using growth stages and color images for easy recognition.</span> |
