Melanoleuca cognata, commonly known as the spring cavalier,[1] is an edible species[2] of agaric fungus. It is found in Europe and North America in forests, meadows, and parks.[3] The species may be difficult to identify without analysis of its microscopic features.[3]
The mushroom is fairly tall for species of its genus.[3] The cap is orange to red-brown and semi-viscid. The gills are a shade of ochre. The odour is mild to sweetish.[3]
