section 2: 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"		The cap looks here greasy because of the dampness, but it is not viscous nor sticky; select then for this case "no"
