Summary: Usually but not always

If sclerotium are present they are visible in a close up view like this one. Maybe I can see one just to the left of the largest cap. If it is one then this is C. tuberosa. So Bob, go mucking the next time after you take a nice situ shot like this one.

Are the sclerotia always visible on an undisturbed fruiting?
