When: 2008-08-22
Collection location: Babcock State Park, Fayette Co., West Virginia, USA [Click for map]
Who: Dan Molter (shroomydan)
No herbarium specimen

Notes: None of the three references mention the cottony purple base, which I found odd considering it is so striking. I enhanced the colors on the first photo, but the second photo is unedited. Even unedited, these seen more colorful than those shown in the field guides.
