I like to hide behind a mask on the Internet, a creepy one at that!
Hi rat ! Thanks for the idea. I like the colour comparison but the biggest problem is the size. These buttons were not more than 60mm.. (2.1 inches) across whereas the T.rutilans around here are about 280mm (10 inches) at least. I found one last week here... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/119...

Plums and custard! :D Tricholomopsis rutilans?
