Quinn: I apologize for the picture quality, but I am at a wedding on mt hood. Currently, there is a break in the action and I found these. I'm thinking rozites Caperata, or the gypsy. All I have with me is Trudell's book. But, im seeing brown sores, thick membranous ring, wavy gills, fibrilose below the stipe. What else should I be looking ? Any common look alikes?
Dick: Usually the cap will not be perfectly symmetrical and there will be ridges and valleys. When young they will usually have a white hoary coating but that could have been washed off if there was a lot of rain. From what I can see I think you are probably right
Sava: Definitely looks like Cortinarius caperatus. I don't know what else it might be

I like this drawing because it shows all the identifying features
