RE: The Amateur Mycologist - Puntas Arenas Part 2: Cyttaria darwinii
I love trying to id things - and these are remarkably beautiful IMO. Looks like a brown or rust colpred spore print, and obviously the distinction ebtween the cap color and the gorgeous brown gills is very pronounced. Growing in a confiner forest.
I think I might see the hint of a veil remnant or a veil ring on the stipe of one of the mushrooms in the second picture, highlighted by the collection of spores there.
Did you see whether younger mushrooms in the cluster had their gills covered in a veil?
Other questions - did you notice any distinctive smells coming off the mushroom? And are they still fresh enough to cut one down the middle and take a photo to check for color changes?
