In answer to your question, How to look at the spores, try tickling the spore surface with an artist’s paint brush, holding a microscope slide. You may be surprised at the profusion of spores you gather.
Thank you. I do know how to identify fungi. I don’t know how to get spores off something that measures about three millimetres across. I thought I’d done quite well to get it home and photographed under the stereo before it faded away. The gills were pale, and distantly spaced.

Thanks both. I’m happy with S. luteus. I have only seen it once or twice before, and always with a deep chestnut brown cap, so the dirty streaky yellow fooled me. I’ll know better in future.
