Angles captured. Two from above, one from below showing a speckled or poroid underside.

Morphology

Cap 6–8 cm, buff with darker appressed scales, dry. The underside in the third frame appears finely pitted rather than gilled.

Habitat & substrate

Leaf litter, same stretch as the previous entry.

Lookalikes & what rules them out

If the underside is genuinely poroid this is not an agaric at all, which would change the identification entirely. The frame is not sharp enough to be sure.

Notes

Second of the three. See the previous entry.

Found at Massasoit Rd area, Worcester, MA on Wednesday, 12 August 2026 at 18:36. See the full walk for that day's weather and everything else recorded.
