User's notes

Large fungi with what appeared to be a pink stipe with very white gills. Gills were medium density. There appeared to be a much smaller fruiting body just beside it which I disturbed accidentally while clearing around it to get a clearer picture. One of the photos was taken with no flash, the others used a flash but the stipe shows pink in all photos. Stipe appears to be similar size the full length. Cap looks a dark, reddish brown color but as it was embedded partly in the dirt, hard to get full picture of it. The white gills were quite noticeable given the way it was sitting side one.
