section 5: Viscid, slimy or sticky cap surface

In this section, we must state whether the cap surface is slimy or clearly sticky (which is different from being "greasy"). This feature may be more or less obvious depending on the dampness. When in doubt (for example, when it is only slightly sticky), choose "I don't know"

Examples:

The cap is viscous here, select then in this case "yes"		The cap is however velvety here, select then "no"		Both caps are here obviously slimy, select then for this case "yes"
