partial veil
A partial veil is a structure in certain types of mushrooms that covers and protects the developing gills or pores of the mushroom. It usually extends from the edge of the cap to the stem, breaking away as the cap expands and often leaving remnants on the stem or cap edge. It serves to keep the immature spore-producing surfaces moist until the spores are ready for dispersal.

Partial veil
In mycology, a partial veil is a temporary structure of tissue found on the fruiting bodies of some basidiomycete fungi, typically agarics. Its role is to isolate and protect the developing spore-producing surface, represented by gills or tubes, found on the lower surface of the cap. A partial veil, in contrast to a universal veil, extends from the stem surface to the cap edge. The partial veil later disintegrates, once the fruiting body has matured and the spores are ready for dispersal. It might then give rise to a stem ring, or fragments attached to the stem or cap edge. In some mushrooms, both a partial veil and a universal veil may be present.
