Found in a Hemlock forest(Cortinarius caperatus)

Habitat: Where does it grow? Hemlock forest from duff 4500'
Spore print color: 
Bruising: edit- brown
Other information: Just a general mushroom smell. Sort of like Ganoderma but with a hint of phenolic.
The gills are obviously serrated and there are strange striations above the annulus under the cap.
Really cool mushroom. If the colors on top of the annulus are any indication the spore print may be a light brown. edit- probably bruising
We shall see.

What really? Radness.
Never seen one that big before. That is pretty cool. Thanks inski.
I saw a ton of them around but I really don't know much about them. I actually found out about their existence a few weeks ago.

Yes, these Rozites are really cool and edible.
I believe this species is one of the only described species in the Rozites group in the Northern Hemisphere.
In the Southern Hemisphere and particularly in New Zealand the Rozites group is well represented with at least seven described species and one new one that I discovered last season, there are likely more yet to be discovered, the edibility of our Southern Hemisphere species has not been explored!

That is pretty exciting. So is the aspect of eating that beautiful stem.
I wonder if the age plays a heavy roll in flavor?.?
Thanks again.

Well, if you do decide to eat them, start off with small amounts! I don't eat Cortinarius but I do taste them as it can be an important taxonomic characteristic.

I shall proceed with trepidation. They don't smell all that great to me. But neither do deliciousus group Lactarius. And I love them cooked. Actually, sometimes I get a whiff of mandarin or some citrus fruit when I smell the L. rubrilacteus. I could be crazy.
Thanks.

Yes, always proceed with caution when trying edibles that you have not consumed previously.
Oh, you should check out some of the Cortinarius here, there is an extremely varied range in smell and taste, some you will smell long before you see the fruitbodies, for example C. cucumeris exactly like cucumber, C. indolicus and C. naphthalinus exactly like moth balls, there is also C. incensus which has a distinct odor like incense, some are like honey and others are like burnt electric wires, C. dysodes smells horrible, like rotting vegetables or LPG gas, anyway I could go on forever.

And finally the spore print. For future reference.
