Smells fresh and salty. Sticky on the cap. Stained brown. Found smaller specimen near it. It was raining.The basidiospores are spherical with amyloid warts on the spores on my species (Figure 4). My specimens’ average spore width was 10.94μm and the average spore length was 10.56μm. See Figure 5 for all the spore measurements. The cap was 3.5 inches in diameter and the stalk was 2.25 inches in length.
