So they don't have a typical Melanoleuca-like appearance, but that's not to say they aren't Melanoleuca. But they are not any species of Melanoleuca I have seen. So you'd need to take your case a little further Nick. |

Point made very eloquently there MWNN and all information read and taken in. You can buy all of the mycological books in the world, own the most amazing microscope possible, but as you so often show, you just cannot buy field experience.
