Same rain-triggered flush as the golden, buffered a touch later and steadier by deeper old-growth duff.

Tread lightly

The mushroom is only the fruit, but raking the duff to find them tears the mycelial mat that fruits year after year. Cut what's up, leave the ground undisturbed, and never strip a patch.

The read

Denser and larger than the golden; hidden under deep old-growth conifer duff.

The event: Same rain-clock as the golden, a touch later.
