Description

decurrent gills, found in leaves and brush by decaying oak (? Still working on identifying trees) reminded me of Xeromphalina, when I broke a cap it DID seem to lactate, which made me hope they’re candy caps but I’m new to this and I’m hesitant on candy caps because the lactation seemed a bit more clear than milky
