Volvopluteus gloiocephalus, also known as stubble rosegill, is an edible mushroom of the Pluteaceae family. Some authors refer to this species by its popular synonyms Volvariella speciosa or Volvariella gloiocephala.
A paper published in 2011 has reclassified this species as Volvopluteus gloiocephalus, citing DNA evidence.[1][2]
It grows mostly on wood chips but can also occur on grassy soil, dung, straw, manured ground, and compost heaps. Its cap diameter is up to 14 cm (5.5 inches). The gills range from pale-whitish in youth to pinkish to pale brownish in maturity. It has an earthy odor and lacks a distinctive taste.
