Habitat: creekside in mixed woods, pushing through duff. Odor/taste: both generally mild. Instantly stained grey -> black, no red phase. There was some reddish discoloration on the gills of the smallest one. Cap dry but somewhat viscid when soaked. I've only see this mushroom in one spot, but it returns there every year. No collection. Can probably collect, if not this year then next, if there is interest.
