Fruiting very abundantly alongside the road on a steep mossy bank. Fir and Sitka spruce trees growing nearby. Creek nearby also. Probably 100 fruiting body’s all over the whole hillside. Lots of disturbance in the area. Very moist and damp light duff and moss.
The fruiting body’s feel very soft and squishy in all age groups.
