Notes
Growing on ground, 8 specimens spread over area about 10 x 20 feet, cap diameter 6-9 inches (this one about 6"), cinnamon to rust brown top, smooth when dry, viscid when wet, pores greenish yellow, do not blue when damaged, stalk pale with pinking tones, slightly reticulate, flesh white with pinkish tones, flesh does not discolour when cut, taste bland. Spores olive-brown. Very popular with slugs -- it was impossible to find one undamaged, older ones were largely eaten away.
