Further Information
| Characters to note in the field | Colour of young gills - cut the cap in half. (The gills always turn brown as the spores ripen so must be a young cap.) Colour of veil on young fruitbodies. (This often disappears and always gets stained rusty by the spores, so again, must be a young fruitbody.) Presence of blue tinges on young gills, stipe apex or flesh - cut in half (again, use a young fruitbody as the blue often fades). Smell. If there is no fresh young cap to cut in half, unless it's one of the distinctive species - forget it! |
