The strawberry-pink cap, the bright yellow at the base of the stipe, and the scabers on the stipe, make this species easy to identify. Please refer to http://www.mushroomexpert.com/harrya_chromapes.html for additional information on this species. Close examination by Dr. Methven (see annotation above) combined with the 2015 DNA analysis confirmed that this specimen is Harrya chromapes.
