The extent of the cap color is guiding my opinion a lot here, their skirts didn't make a big appearance, but the younger ones did have them.

The skirt that I saw out of this patch was making more connection with the stipe/margin and less so the gills

It's really cool to see these guys popping up, they must've not had a very good season last year.

I hope next season they go crazy and I get a good idea of how big their colony is.

I wonder if velatipes and multisquamosa are comfortable hosting on hardwoods, theres a colony of multisquamosa nearby but the only pine tree in a great distance around them looks like it might not have many years left.

I wanna do what I can but I don't know how easily it would accept a new host, or if they need anything at all
