Unidentified Specimens
Picture Type: Side view		Notes Month: August Time: Early evening Diameter: 5cm Height: 8cm Terrain: Mixed woodland Substrate: Soil Comments: Puzzled by this one. The sticky cap and violet stipe should give me clues but can't figure it out. Probably some sort of cortinarius, reminds me of gomphus genus but really no idea.
