Stasis allows leukocytes to marginate (move) along the endothelium, a process critical to their recruitment into the tissues.

The suture is linear, strongly defined above by the square furrow lying between the lines of tubercles which marginate the suture above and below.

Upon activation, they marginate (position themselves adjacent to the blood vessel endothelium), and undergo selectin-dependent capture followed by integrin-dependent adhesion in most cases, after which they migrate into tissues, where they survive for 1-2 days.

Common names of the species include the "marginate Pholiota" (resulting from its synonymy with Pholiota marginata), "funeral bell", "deadly skullcap", and "deadly Galerina".
