    Such a beautiful species, hard to define which color is dominant. Posted 5 years ago

      I think the pink is dominant and it bruises blue/green when handled. You would never know what a beauty this mushroom was by just looking down at the cap! the caps are usually more attractive though, but this mushroom was old and dry. Posted 5 years ago
