> A family of three basidiomes growing on the side of the Red Trail near Bertha's canal in the typical pine-oak barrens. The duo in the first pic were growing next to each other; the third specimen was found two feet away. > All had bulbs shallowly buried in soil under needle duff. > The largest fruiting body (the only one collected and preserved) dropped spores > Cap = 6.3 cm in diameter; overall height = 7.5 cm; bulb = 2 cm at widest point; stipe = 1.5 cm at widest point (near the apex) > The spore shape as seen at x400 and the presence of "terrace-like or disc-like rings at bottom of stipe or upper part of bulb" strongly suggest A. scalaris
