Dimi should probably be the one to jump in here, but two things you must do...taste it (mild, or peppery?) and get a spore print (contrary to popular belief, ...
I was out in the woods this afternoon looking under shrumps big and small, grassy pine needled humps and on more than one occasion happened across what looked...
