* Gills are not visible
* Stem is short and stout

**Background:**

* Soil that has been disturbed by hogs
* Pieces of wood scattered throughout the area

**Overall Impression:**

The image suggests that the mushroom is growing in a forested area where the soil has been disturbed by hogs. The presence of pieces of wood on the surface may indicate that the forest floor is being cleared or disturbed, allowing the mushroom to grow.
