Close to either H. scrobiculatum group, or perhaps H. diabolus? Larger than H. peckii.
Slight red guttation, soft cap, spines not changing color but swelling in KOH (3&4)
Cap not zonate, lumpy with ridges.
In fir, Tsuga, Thuja, Pseudotsuga forests bordering alpine marsh habitat.
Drying to a chocolatey brown color. Up to 17cm across. Too large for Peckii- regretfully I did not taste. Growing through the material around it. A pleasant odor, somewhat like a candle or a soap.

The 5th photo in matchmaker under H. scrobiculatum group by A & O Ceska resembles this.

A second fruiting was found.
