section 6: presence of flakes, warts or scales on cap

In this section, we must tell the system whether the cap is covered with scales, warts, flakes, or is on the contrary smooth. Scales or flakes may come from original veil remains, or simply formed from the cracking cap. Whein in doubt, select "I don't know".

Examples:

The cap is speckled with scales, select then "yes"		The cap here is scaly, especially towards the centre, select therefore "yes"		The cap here is covered with scaly warts, select then "yes"		The cap here is covered with large disconnected patches, select then "yes"
The cap is covered with large patches, easily washed away, select then "yes"		The cap is here speckled with scaly warts, select then "yes"		The cap is here entirely covered with small brown scales, select then "yes"		The cap is here perfectly smooth, select then "no"
