Hygrocybe squamulosa Cap was reddish orange, dry, and shallowly depressed. The gills were attached to the stem, yellow, and had frequent short gills. The stipe was orange, dry, and had a white base. The cap was about 45-50 mm in diameter! It&#039;s probably the largest Hygrocybe that I&#039;ve ever seen.<br /> <br /> Habitat: Growing in a mixed forest.
