Re: Confirm on Violet Web Cap...

I dug out one of my photos of C. violaceous taken 6 years ago:

It shows the features, including the scurfy cap, and the stem which has a typically bulbous base. However, I only know this species from one site.

Making an id via a photo is far harder than from the original specimen with decent collecting notes.
