The Crawshay spore colours (A-H) are too pale. "A" and the three "white" patches are too grey - use the paper and the others are too pale. Compared to Kibby (Synoptic keys to the British Species of the genus Russula):
BFF "E" is nearer D
BFF "F" is nearer E
BFF "G" is nearer F
BFF "H" is nearer G
but then Kibby's colours are a bit grey.
BFF 7/Cortinariaceae p.p. (p2) gives names to the above colours as follows:
| 1 | A | white
|
| 2 | B | ivory
|
| 3 | C | pale cream
|
| 4 | D | cream
|
| 5 | E | yellowish cream
|
| 6 | F | pale ochraceous
|
| 8 | G | ochraceous
|
| 9 | H | ochre
