Description: Found along bike trail in Burnsville, MN at the south end of East Wellington Crescent within 15 ft of a large living cottonwood tree. Found in soil off the side of a paved bike path. Soil is mix of rich hummus, sand, gravel and heavy leaf duff from the tree, but mushrooms were all from the ground, pushing up through the leaf dufff and appeared to be mycorrhizal with the cottonwood tree. Other trees and brush close by were small (sumac, buckthorn and wild grape vines). Veil remnants were very gragile and did not leav an obvious ring on the stipe. Bulb at the bottom was small, only slightly larger than the stipe in ost cases, but it had a distinct ridge in most specimens. Most specimens did not have a slight order of potato. Cap colors ranged from light cream to tan and the largest mature one was 4 inches across and stipe was nearly 5 inches tall, more slender at the top and a bit weder at the bottom, about 3/4 inchest at widest oart. Flesh did not bruise or change color when cut.
