This specimen was found in a newly built garden, with no weeds growing in it and the plants nearby were young. The garden seems to be bedded with decomposing wood chips, worm cast, and manure. There's no shade where the mushroom was found, the ground was very moist, and there were plenty of other species of mushroom growing near it. No insects were visible on the surface of the ground. The specimen was also near a newly built apartment building, and during construction, all dirt where the specimen was found was removed, which suggests that this specimen was very likely developed some time during the last year.
