Collected by Crissy Ditty on a group hunt. 5 fruiting bodies were growing out of a hole in the ground near Tsuga canadensis, Pinus strobus, Fagus grandifolia and Quercus sp. Possibly other trees as well. Caps slimy. Younger caps were a deeper brown. Taste acrid but not strongly. Odor indistinct. Stems dry with pruina toward the apex.
