While recording toad calls, I was a bit surprised by how close this leopard frog was. It would call for a bit then move to a new spot, so was hard to triangulate its location. I finally did, but was unable to get pictures of him calling. The audio files have this male calling at some point in the chorus of peepers and toads.

Single young fruiting beneath Douglas fir and Western Hemlock.
Stem: blue tones prevalent at base.
Stem apex staining red where handled(darkening to nearly cherry red once home).
Cap: staining red where handled.
Inosperma calamistratum does not stain red and has a scalier quality overall and generally less robust stature.
Odor: fishy.
Harvested specimen and dehydrated for herbarium collection/genetic record.
