Summary: Some problems with H. agathosmus

Comment: I did have some problems with H. agathomsus. The caps was darker and varigated. I’ve added a somewhat underexposed photo which shows more clearly the darker streaking and cap color which was truer to the fresh material. Also, the caps were smaller in stature, up to only 3.9 cm broad. The other problem was the spore size..these seemed rounder.. in the range of 5 X 7.5 microns whereas H. agathosmus are more like 5 X 8-10.5. However, I placed more weight on the former properties as I measure spores rather generally.
