Life cycle
Life cycle is very common as like in all mushrooms but it takes too short time for development. Germinate basidiospores produces mycelium of two different strains when both are fuse together then formation of fruiting body starts. The first stage is a tiny structure called pinhead stage. After that button stage are formed, buttons encircling the egg shape structure.
.
The elongation stage occurs after the universal veil break and exposing the stalk and the cap. In last stage(maturation stage) mushroom caps are fully expanded and tanned. Gills starts to produce basidiospres on their surface.
