Baeospora can be recognized by white spores, gills that are narrow and close, stipe that is concolorous and lacks yellow tones, a pileus that is plane to broadly plano-convex and its habit of growing on cones, Sitka spruce of Douglas fir in northern California, or on wood in the Sierras; the stature is Collybioid. The most commons species in coastal northern is B. myosura; in this species the pieus. Stobilurus is another genus whose species grown on cones; however its species typically have subdistant, more or less moderately broad gills and a stipe-base that is often yellowish, and a pileus that is convex to plano-campanulate.
