Fungi tips:
- Laccaria key: https://www.svims.ca/council/Laccar.htm
- Mycoquebec is a REALLY good resource that basically covers all of New England mushrooms with nice descriptions. An issue for some is that the site is in French, but copy and pasting the descriptions into google translate works well without major issues (usually).
- Mycoquebec page for Laccaria: https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?post=Laccaria&l=r&nom=Laccaria%20laccata%20var.%20pallidifolia%20/%20Laccaire%20laqu%C3%A9,%20vari%C3%A9t%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20lames%20p%C3%A2les&tag=Laccaria%20laccata%20var.%20pallidifolia&gro=22
