Monster button? 8cm/3inch stem diameter.
    #23656794 - 09/18/16 07:42 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Habitat:
Pine forest, poking through the moss like a boulder. Alberta, ~1300m altitude.

Gills:
White, decurrent, forking.

Stem:
14cm, 8cm, white, smooth, solid, thick, bulbous, firm. Has a volva (I think that's what it is), but no ring. (see pics)

Cap:
20cm, white, smooth, spherical, concave, firm.

Spore print color:
Still developing, the specimen looks like a button, so not sure if I get anything out of that.

Bruising:
No color change after a couple hours.

Other information:
Smells mildly like dumpness. Like mushrooms, but not the kind you'd eat. Weighs 700g.

It might be a Catathelasma sp. Cool whatever it is!

Thanks! Looks most like Catathelasma ventricosum (from all Catathelasmas at least). Descriptions are talking about "double ring" though -- do pics look like a double ring?

There are two well separated rings here.
