Description

The cap is grayish brown, 5–10 cm and darkens with age. It is often scarred and discolored. In its early stages, the pileus (cap) is convex, and flattens through development, eventually creating a dish shape and becoming concave. The edge of the cap is also very fragile and rolled, which causes it to break often throughout the development of the fruit body.[2] The lamellas are a lighter color and darken with age, turning ocher then a brown. The flesh smells of grass and is an ocher color. It is very spongy and easily cut.[1] Spore print is white and made up of smooth, ellipsoidal spores measuring 5-7 x 3.5-4 μm.[2]

Usually found in coniferous forests after rain storms. It also can be found in meadows.

Edibility

It can be used in culinary activities, and has an agreeable flavor, although it is seldom collected.[2]

gollark: Then, you just move it a little bit toward lower loss (gradient descent).
gollark: You have a big thing of settable parameters determining how you go from input to output. And if you know what the result *should* be (on training data), then as the maths is all "differentiable", you can differentiate it and get the gradient of loss wrt. all the parameters.
gollark: Well, you put your data into something something linear algebra and something something gradient descent, and answers come out.
gollark: I see. This might be one of the ones which can't boot from those, or you just beeized slightly.
gollark: That's one of the boot errors.
