Waxcaps and Allies (Family Hygrophoraceae)Observer
ilookaftertherainDescription
Will revisit in a few days to see how it matures
Orange cap with yellow center
Stem matches the yellow color on cap
Could not determine stem attachment at this time
Very small specimen
9/4 additional pictures. It dried out, but I can confirm gills.
Stem has flattened but is pretty strong. I can hold the stem base without the cap and stem bending which I didn’t expect.
