Field Notes

Description:

The cap was pinkish with a woolly margin. Latex was white and didn’t change color. They had a slight, bad smell that is hard to describe other than to say it definitely wasn’t pleasant.

Habitat:

Habitat: These mushrooms were growing on the ground throughout the woods in a campground with hardwood and conifers.
