Odor of cedar and radish. Taste of radish. Under Calocedrus decurrens with some Abies around. All parts extremely fluorescent yellow.

Micrograph 1 is tissue from the volva at the base of the stem, 400x. Micrograph 2 is spores from the cortina, 1000x.

Spores measure (6.6) 6.7 - 7.3 (7.4) × (5) 5.1 - 5.6 (5.7) µm
Q = (1.2) 1.3 - 1.39 (1.4) ; N = 15
Me = 7 × 5.4 µm ; Qe = 1.3

Strong scent somewhere between the odor of a truffle and a Suillus pungens. Difficult to dry as it seems to have a very high oil content. Found growing near a rotten log and a series of tree roots. The only tree around was Nothofagus pumilo (Lenga tree).

Spores - elongated 10-12um in length with 1-3 oil droplets inside
