This species has most of the features of R. variata, except there was no bitter taste; the pilepellis peels easily about halfway to the margin; applying KOH to the cuticule causes the pigments to bleach orangish. Also the key feature for this species is the gills fork close to the margin only. Unfortunately this is not well illustrated in my photo of the gills, but was present in my notes. I should have checked my photos before I delete4d them from my card.
