  certainly looks like it could be, or maybe Pluteus exilis - if I'm remembering right, this one was ID'd for me by a local expert, but they may be simply going off of what they've always called it - and the species appears to have been split up fairly recently (2014)... Posted 5 years ago

    Pluteus exilis does look really similar too. Hmm. Posted 5 years ago
