Mushrooms – Leucistic

Leucistic Mushrooms have a partial loss of pigmentation, often resulting in mushrooms with a pale or washed-out appearance. Unlike albinism, leucism does not affect the entire organism, and some pigmentation may still be present in certain parts of the mushroom’s fruiting body. This can manifest as patches or gradients of color, with some parts appearing almost entirely white, while others retain faint hints of their original hue. Leucistic mushrooms also produce spores with reduced pigmentation, although they may not be entirely colorless like albino spores.
