Fruiting from well rotted, Douglas fir TAC563 mildly spicy odor, perhaps a little like radish
Two fruiting bodies beneath Douglas fir.
Vibrant neon yellow gills. Notched/adnexed, slightly decurrent.
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.
My corresponding Mushroomobserver observation below-
Two together in grass within 20 feet of stream
In manzanita, pinyon, cypress habitat. Yellow fibrils on stipe, brown spores
Soil under spruce and Douglas fir
Soil under Spruce. Almond odor
Growing on the wood of a downed pinion pine
Found growing on a steep north facing slopes in high elevation mixed forest. Surrounding trees in photos. Found growing terrestrially. Elevation 9,500ft
Unusual coloration, not yellow enough to be C. roseocanus.
