CM24-06504
Stains my hand and skin a reddish orange color that’s difficult to get off.
Fruiting very abundantly under Monterey pine trees on steep hillside. For trees nearby, kinda like fried food or like fish and chips.
Odor while cooking: smells like chicken, sweet, savory, forestry, very tasty, similar taste to odor.
At the bottom of a road edge, somewhat far from a meadow. Perhaps the slight seep effect from the raised road provides enough moisture.
