Hot and peppery taste. No bluing. In Aspen Grove. Cap dry/almost like felt. Weather has been very dry. Two years ago there were tons of Amanita muscaria in the same area. Randomly found on website MycoCosm "Previously thought to be an ectomycorrhizal symbiont, C. piperatus is likely a mycoparasite, colonizing Amanita muscaria ectomycorrhizae"-Just thought interesting. Spore looked salmon.
