It would be great if others got involved in taking these close-up shots so we
could compare notes. I've heard that the reniform on E. vinulenta is usually
flat-ish on the bottom so if that spot is round, it's probably not vinulenta. I
haven't examined enough to know if this holds true but others that have
examined hundreds say it does. Those others are in Michigan so it's possible
what they are seeing is a regional variation. I've also noticed that vinulenta
has a dirtier look to it. Again, I haven't examined enough to say that holds
true.
