Fungi-ID Cap-Shape: cylindrical

Cylindrical Definition

A cylindrical mushroom cap refers to a mushroom cap shape that is tall and resembles a cylinder, similar to a bullet or a long, straight tube. It's characterized by being tall, having a curved top, and hugging the stem. Examples include the "lawyer's wig" or Coprinus comatus, which initially appears as a white cylinder before the cap opens.
