Growing under Quercus agrifolia; mild taste; odor was mild and indistinct at first, but then it developed a minty odor. I noticed that the evening after I collected it, and the next day it smelled even stronger of mint. Gills start out lavender-gray and turn lavender-brownish with yellowish edges. Dimitar Bojantchev said that this was in the cupreorufus group and didn't look like any species he has observed growing with oaks. After dehydration, flesh was a pale golden yellow. I think I found more mature fruit bodies of this same species 1/10/2023 https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/146658084
