Grassy soil under spruce and aspen. More gray-brown than it appears in the first photo. The second and third photos are from the next day. It is beginning to develop peach colored tones on the cap and it is apparent that there is no ring just a volval sack. The last three photos were taken on day three when the specimen was taken.

Non-staining collection.
Odor: pleasant melon rind/mango odor.
Harvested both specimens.
Applied Ammonia to cap tissue of larger specimen.
Ammonia: Purple immediately, drying reddish maroon. See shots of reaction included.
Removed a single gill and mounted in both Lugol’s and 3% KOH.
MICROSCOPY:
Spores: elongate elliptical, spindle shaped. Medium sized.
Pleurocystidia: very large! Thick walled, double walled, subfusoid-fusoid, broadly spade shaped.
Basidia: 4 sterigmate.
Lamellar Trama: bundled layers of globose to subglobose elements.
Laid 1/2 of larger specimen’s cap directly on a separate slide to obtain spore print.
Spore Print: Dull Grayish, pinkish yellow. “Dusty pinkish cream” in direct light.
Mounted spore printed slide in Lugol’s solution.
Spore printed slide micro: mature spores Dextrinoid in Lugol’s solution(rusty ferruginous brown in Lugol’s).
Dehydrated specimens and bagged for herbarium collection/genetic record.
