Pinkgill species

Description:

smells distinctive and strong. It tastes how it smells. I think I can faintly make out a mealy undertone to the smell. I don’t know what ‘coal-gas’ smells like, I’ve only read about it in descriptions of Tricholoma sp. but I’d imagine it smells kind of like this. **after finding a few more the smell is actually quite mealy like Dryad's Saddle Polyporus squamosus: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/215... ** Also the cap is slightly waxy/greasy and (when dry) sticks to the lips for a fraction of a second before falling off. Growing, on it's own, on what I think must be 'mor humus' (an acidic humus with low-biological activity in soil: http://karnet.up.wroc.pl/~weber/typy2.ht... according to the Forestry Commission R. ponticum thickets cause 'mor humus' to be produced: http://www.forestry.gov.uk/pdf/fcpg017.p...), and fairly deep into a thick patch of an evergreen species of Rhododendron (I guess R. ponticum). Spore print is a light pink but not very well printed so hard to tell. I thought it might be Rhodocollybia butyracea but users on wildaboutbritain and Mushroomobserver.org suggest Entoloma for now: http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodocollyb...
