Angles captured. One from above; one oblique showing white gills and stipe.

Morphology

Cap ~5 cm, pinkish buff to salmon-tan, paler at the margin, darker and slightly depressed at the centre, dry, with scattered debris. Gills white, close. Stipe white, short.

Habitat & substrate

Oak litter on level ground beside a fallen branch, with low trailing herbs.

Lookalikes & what rules them out

Insufficient detail. The pale gills and pinkish cap keep Russula, Clitocybe and Lactarius all in play.
