Will post photos in the comments but here are some details:
- found in central BC, Canada
- stipe and cap surfaces slimy
- latex white at first, turning dark lilac after <5 mins
- flesh dark lilac after being cut (<5 mins)
- zonation on cap, not very distinct
- I have a hard time with describing scent, almost like spicy cologne mixed with man-sweat? Or maybe spicy like a turnip?
- latex spit test (courtesy of my partner) unpleasant, acrid but not extremely spicy
- growing singly and in clusters of 8+
- growing in forest dominated by older and younger poplar and some alder, a few spruce scattered throughout but mostly on the other side of the road and not in immediate area (if that makes a difference)
- KOH negative but in all honesty I only let it sit 15-20 mins
