Habitat:

Found on an Oak stump growing in clusters in North Carolina after some wet weather. The place has been deforested and there are oak logs piled up everywhere and this is where they were growing.

Gills:

Gills are a cream color to light yellow. I am not sure whether they are attached to the stem or not, but I don’t think they are. They are pretty tight but I wouldn’t call them “crowded.”



Stem:

Short stem. Yellow to cream at top near cap and darker near the bottom. The stem is hollow and the base stains green I guess when damaged.



Cap:

Maybe 5 cm diameter, darker sort of reddish-brown-orange in the center and lighter toward the edges. Mainly convex shape. Very sticky cap, somewhat slimy.



Spore print color:

In process of taking print, will update when it’s done.



Bruising:

Bruises green at base of stem.
