Tissues slowly stain purple
Small member of the A. vaginata group under mixed conifers and mountain alder, moss and grass in very wet area. Unnamed species, at times abundant at this site
Cap peels 100 percent. Mild odor and taste; pale cream spore print
spores were 6-sided 8-10 x 6-8.5 microns. mixed conifers, mainly alpine fir in area. Dry open woods
spores were 6-sided 8-10 x 6-8.5 microns. mixed conifers, mainly alpine fir in area. Dry open woods
Spores average 12x 5.8 microns, encrusted metuloids 50x 20-30 microns. Mixed conifers including spruce, alpine fir, mountian hemlock
On Quercus garryana and old pear tree bark. The new identification is due to the spore size range 9.2-11.3 x 7.5-8.8, average 10.2x8.3.
Caps to 9 cm across, pinkish tan, depressed to funnel shaped, smooth, moist; flesh in cap thin, whitish, watery; gills long-decurrent, buff, close to crowded, some forking; stems to 8 cm, coloured as cap; odour sweet, slightly farinaceous, somewhat anise-like; taste not distinctive.
On the ground, in conifer forest. Metchosin Wilderness Park.
Spores 5 X 4.5 um, pear-shaped, some with oil droplets. No cystidia.
Caps 2-4 cm across, hemispheric to conic, small nipple-like umbo, yellow-brown, older caps lighter, adpressed-fibrillose (but in places worn off) with lifted scales in centre, margin turned down on young caps, extending beyond gills and with fringed edge; gills brown, light edges, adnexed to free, subgills in tiers; stem 7 X .05 cm, cream to brown, silky, pruinose at top; flesh in cap white, tan in stem; spematic odour; brown spores 10 X 5 microns, smooth, thick-walled, almond-shaped or elliptical, cystidia 40 X 15 fusiform w/crystals at apex.
In conifer forest. Seabluff Trail.
Cap hemispheric , darker brown where dry, finely wrinkled radially; gills adnate, edges flocculose; stem cream at top, red brown in bottom half, finely pruinose at apex, widening slightly, hollow; spores 8 X 5 microns, slightly flattened, germ pore; cystidia 40 X 10, cylindrical but pinched in upper middle.

Gills close, narrowly attached
No particular odour
White spore print. Spores 8 X 5, thick-walled, possibly finely warted. No visible cystidia.

This is a duplicate of the observation made by Bill Weir (billweir1) at https://inaturalist.ca/observations/106279823
It is repeated here with additional microscope photography to serve as an anchor for a voucher specimen.
The main picture is taken by Bill, used with his permission.
No parasitized insects were found at the base.
