Summary: cap color…

Comment: Irene,

When the cap color is as pallid as this in young material of A. pantherina is it your experience that it darkens with age? Or that it remains pallid at maturity?

All of my European material of pantherina is much darker. The species called pantherina in western North America is, incidentally, a distinct species in my opinion.

Very best,

Rod
