Yup, I have proper literature at hand now. Clearly keys to S. subaureus, not S. hirtellus. The other similar one is S. americanus but it has wider tubes (1-2mm wide -vs- 0.5mm wide as here), and more slender stipe (rarely to 10mm wide -vs- 15mm wide as here). Thanks, "the weed one". Feel free to check my others, too!
