Field Notes

Habitat:

sand dunes. closest object was grass 3' away. closest tree was a live oak about 15' away. Jockey's Ridge State Park.

Notes:

I found a couple more pictures of another specimen that was nearby. Probably not too helpful as they don't show the underside, but I thought I'd post them anyway.

I found a list of fungus identified in the park. Laccaria trullisata was on the list, so I'm going with it. Thanks for the ID help Mark Ridgway and Tom15.

4" sounds like Lactarius

Sorry I don't have any more pictures. It was in pure sand - surprised me. Cap was around 4" in diameter.

We need to see how those gills are connected to the stipe to be sure.

Mark Ridgway

Yours is a good candidate too Tom. Inrolled margin maybe thin but it's a sand-dune specialist on the east coast !!

Mark Ridgway

Thanks for agreement Tom. I think it's just a matter of which one. I've found some in sandy soils but not pure sand as this appears to be. So many to choose from in USA.

Tom15

Mark, I think you got it with Lactarius.

Mark Ridgway

Amazing in pure sand. Sure looks like Lactarius (milkcaps). Closest object might be straight below !? :-)

Tom15

Check out this species and see if you think that's it. Nice spotting!
