Lepiota mushrooms are incredibly diverse and very challenging for North American foragers. There are roughly 400 species recognized worldwide, and most are whitish, with white gills and a white stem. They are hard to differentiate from dozens of other mushroom species that share these characteristics. And, it’s difficult to distinguish them from each other. They are commonly called dapperlings because their appearance is often quite attractive, like a well-dressed person with nicely arranged scaled caps and rings. (Dapper isn’t used much anymore to describe people, but it was quite common decades ago and means “well-dressed, sharp, and tidy.”)
