Mushroom of Grafton MA
7/10/08
There were 4 growing in a group. Two
were actually connected at the base. Caps were about 4". What struck
me as different was the stout stem of about 1.5". They were growing in an
open area near a mixed woods area. No bitter taste, sweet. Flesh
white and not staining when cut.
Side. Brown stem with white areas at
top and bottom. Smooth, no reticulation. These were fused at base of
stem. Pores were white and stained brown when handled.
Pores
Spore print pinkish brown. Spore
measured 10.6 x 3.84 microns.
