Hintapink

Fungus with a cap up to 16 cm. Grows in conifers and in forests. Spore print ochre. Lives in symbiosis with tree roots: the fungus brings water and minerals, the tree feeds it sugars.

There are 24 observations of Hintapink in Québec, mostly in Côte-Nord, Nord-du-Québec and Lanaudière, and it has been reported in 9 of the 17 regions. They peak in August and become rare from October to June.
