Flammulaster erinaceellus is a species of fungus in the agaric family Tubariaceae. It was first described in 1876 as Agaricus detersibilis by Charles Horton Peck.[5] Roy Watling transferred it to Flammulaster in 1967.[6]
The fruit body has a hemispherical to convex cap 1–3.5 cm (0.4–1.4 in) in diameter that is covered with small, erect, brownish scales[7] that can be readily rubbed off. The gills have an adnexed attachment to the stipe. The stipe is up to 4.5 cm (1.8 in) long and 2 mm thick. It is either hollow, or stuffed with a pith-like mycelium. The spores measure 7.5–9 by 4–5 μm.[citation needed] The spore print is orangish brown.[7]
Outside its genus, it can resemble Phaeomarasmius erinaceus, P. proximans, and Pholiota granulosa.[7]
Fruiting occurs on barkless areas of logs in the woods in eastern North America.[7]
