Young specimen growing near mixed conifers at ~ 5000 ft. Managed to get the veil to break and cap to open up after about 24 hours. Spores also dropped fairly plentifully. May check them later to see how large they are at this stage of development. 10-1-11; Checked the spores of this young specimen. Amyloid spores were ~ 8.0-9.0 X 7.2-9.0 microns.(only 13 measured) Ave Q value was 1.07. These numbers agree pretty closely with the data on Rod's website.
