Morphological Description
The mushroom appeared to be medium sized, with gills that were spaced moderately apart. The stipe length varied between 2.0 and 4.6 cm among individual mushrooms. Stipe diameter was found to be 2.0 to 5.0 mm, cap diameter 2.0 to 3.7 cm, and full length varied between 2.3 to 5.0 cm. The caps were convex and adnate in the younger specimens, but concave and seceding in the older ones. The mushrooms were a faint pink or salmon colour and had a slight orange hue, with the colour transitioning from darkest at tip of cap to lighter moving outwards. It smelled soapy and floral when freshly picked, and tasted chalk-like. The colour became duller with time, but did not change much otherwise. The spores were white, and average spore size was 3 units under the microscope at 400x magnification, which corresponds to approximately 10 µm. Spores were globose or sub-globose in shape with spines, and basidia had 4 basidiospores each.
