User's notes

Leaning toward E cucullatus rather than E magenteus as it is so pale.

I would be looking at the population as a whole. If they are pale on average, then E. cucullatus, if pinker on average, then E. magenteus.

@mattm yeah, here they're almost always white with the occasional pink, as opposed to the colony I found in Tallaganda a few weeks back, which was exclusively pink. A solid tip!
