i thought so myself thanks

next season im gonna be jabbing needles in all sorts of mushrooms, then depending on what kind it is ill send it to whyblameus or noobie to grow. and if i can find some more of those galindoi or anything else cool, maybe workman will want it

i wonder if you should dip the stipe in h202 before you suck a tissue sample into the syringe.

Are you sure it wasn't just the hygrophanous reaction as the pileus dries in the sun or dry weather?
Here are some examples, if I had left these specimens to mature more without watering or misting them the hygrophanous reaction would have spread to the very margin of the pileus giving the impression of a very light pigmented cap!
Not producing spores does not always mean it's an albino, the specimens below are almost sporeless, I have also seen many P. weilii images that show very pale fruit bodies and think it's a common trait in that species!
You should try to find more specimens from the same area and take more pictures, maybe there is an albino strain out there.

weilii do the same thing when they are exposed to sun, sure. these are some very sunbleached caps

i need to find a better example of there the cap will have clearly two tones in it alot of the time like the photographs you posted. that could also be due to the sun. these were not exposed to the sun at all. alot of the time they arent, you have to uncover them

here are sunbleached weilii, and sporeless, but nothing still like the others


but they were all relatively brow the first time i saw them.
that was a cluster that had little white pins. they were never brown

even the typical sporeless variety is brown


i went fishing after i picked those and they turned a bit yellow as they began to dry out.


haha i need a better camera. and a better season

Ps. galindii (galindoi) are easy to find, they grow in the same habitat that weilii do, I think many people pass them up because of how they look, with their long skinny stipe they look like many of the mushrooms that grow in these habitats, when checking a grass habitat for weilii check along the treeline for Ps. galindii, often early and then later in the season they fruit.

Also those weilii in the first set of pics are not albinos, they have not dropped spores yet that is all.

Ive seen weilii that had white gills for 3 days and had plane caps, then the gills started to turn light purple/lavender then deep purple.  I have noticed this many times with weilii, it seems like they take a while to drop their spores compared to other actives I have encountered in the field (Ps. cubensis) but maybe thats just my experience.
