      Under beech, not sticky but it was sticky as debris is stuck to cap.

      Reddish brown spots on gill, especially at edge. Smell is quite strong. I am hopeless on farinaceous, to me it smells gassy.

      There is white zone at the top, but not sure if this counts as sharply delimited. What do you think?

        Are the colour values in the second photo correct? It looks awfully pale for T. ustale. I’ve never found T. ustaloides, but I’ve been told the demarcation of the pale area is very clear, so I think the former is more likely. But it should be chestnut brown.

          It has been very dry and some other specimens were darker. In terms of brown species, what else could it be, under Beech?

            I don’t disagree, but I have never seen T. ustale so pale and grey. This business is all about understanding the range of possibilities.

              They were chestnut brown and that is what I see in the 2nd image on both my laptop and desktop computers. Not at all grey.
