Field Notes
Description:
It has a sticky, almost rubbery, orangish to reddish or yellowish brown cap, along with a distinctively velvety stem that darkens from the base upward
Cap: 1-7 cm; convex, becoming broadly convex to flat; moist and sticky when fresh; bald; color fairly variable--dark orange brown to yellowish brown, often fading with maturity.
Gills: Broadly or narrowly attached to the stem; whitish to pale yellow; crowded or close
Habitat:
It grows from the wood of hardwoods--but the wood is sometimes buried, making the mushrooms appear terrestrial.
