Angles captured. Five field frames across a short stretch of bank, plus five of the spore print.

Morphology

Cap 2–4 cm, orange to orange-yellow, smooth, convex to flat. Small relative to the previous entry. Spore print pale ochre.

Habitat & substrate

Bare sandy bank with scattered green herbs, pine above.

Lookalikes & what rules them out

Similar in colour to the previous entry but consistently smaller, and the print is paler. Whether these are the same species at different ages or two species is not settled.

Notes

Spore print taken (card 8). #4865 belongs here — recalled by the photographer, and the frame numbers run straight on from the rest.

Found at Coldbrook Rd area, Hubbardston, MA on Friday, 14 August 2026 at 10:28. See the full walk for that day's weather and everything else recorded.
