White, sort of translucent appearing cap with central depression (umbilicate), pink subdistant to distant gills, stipe 4 to 5 cm, seems to be bruising yellow! Can this be? Will continue to watch & observe. By next morning the mushrooms were rather limp but still showing yellow bruises. Bruising the smaller one elicited fresh yellowing. At first I thought the yellow might be from other mushrooms in basket but rubbing brought forth fresh yellowing even a day later. So many Entolomas, not so many in the literature. Further research needed. Possibilities so far: Alboleptonia sericella, aka Entoloma sericellum, A. adnatifolia, that may be a western species, A. ochracea that bruises ochraceous but maybe deprecated,not on iNat. E. subochraceous exists but seems strictly western. All of these are now mostly in Entoloma. Any thoughts what it might be?

In moss, small and tuff; mixed woods with pine and cedar; strong odor; milk white turning watery; Gills are attached and running slightly down; Stem is more or less equal, with hairs near the base; KOH on cap is olive..

Large cap, 4-9 cm, pale buff to off-white with striate margin & darker central umbo even in age, sticky at first, becoming dry & suede-like as it ages. Large white saccate volva. No noticeable odor. Photos 3 & 10 showing a bit of Mycogone rosea mold parasitizing the fruit body on the volva.
