Many mushrooms have caps; a hard structure which protects the gills on the underside of the mushroom. The cap radiates from the central stalk of the mushroom and the gills may be attached to the cap; or be free of the cap. Mushroom caps can be many different sizes, as well as have different structures located on the top. The caps can also have an inky or waxy sheen.
