The stubble rosegill appears in Turkey with the autumn and winter rains; our records run from October to February, peaking in December and January, with a stray record in May.
On stubble fields, field margins, lawns, gardens, compost and manured soil; it is not tied to trees and feeds on decaying plant matter. It appears singly or in small groups.
Death cap (Amanita phalloides, deadly): The death cap also has a volva, but its gills stay white, its stem has a ring and its cap is usually olive green; it grows under trees. The stubble rosegill's gills turn pink, it has no ring and it grows in the open.
Destroying angel (Amanita virosa, deadly): Pure white, with a volva and white gills; its stem has a ragged ring and it grows in woodland. Its spore print is white; the stubble rosegill's is pink.
Paddy straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea, edible): The cultivated paddy straw mushroom is smaller, with a grey-brown fibrous cap; it too has pink gills and a volva. In Turkey it is seen in shops, not in the wild.

For protected species (iNaturalist "threatened" or IUCN VU/EN/CR) locations are rounded to ~10 km; locations obscured by iNaturalist are marked "approximate".
An observation shows that a mushroom was seen there on that day, not that it is there now or that it may be picked. Counts reflect how many people record fungi in an area more than how common a species is.
