;0Thanks g.m Spores probably light tan colour. I have added one pic but not clear. We ran out of bags for print specimens. :)

A spore print would be interesting on this one. Maybe you can tell from your original high-res pictures by zooming in on any possible spore deposit atop the annulus. The scales on the cap will be universal veil remnants, not partial, which will be important.
