I love finding this genus! I rarely see them though. Did you cut into it...S. floccopus turns red! Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

      Also, I'm pretty sure there are 3+species that turn pink/red when cut? Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

        I'm pretty sure that a species ID of any Strobilomyces in the US is considered tentative. But, there are some keys detailing the differences of the possible species in this country based on differences in spores and cap scales/fuzz. It was suggested to me a couple years ago to collect a sample when I find this genus because collection and more study is really needed here. Posted 5 years ago
