    Found in a park in Seattle, Washington near a small pond. Spore print came out white. They only bruise blue at the very base of the stipe. They didn't blue any further than 1cm up the stem. They had a slight farinaceous odor.

    Can't seem to find a match for these mushrooms. All the Tricholoma species which come close to a match have other features not present in these. The closest match i found bruises red/pink at the base not blue/blue-green.

    Any help is much appreciated!!

    The gills run down the stem very slightly where they connect to the stem.
