Melanoleuca or Lyophyllum

[watsthat]

Here`s another that I have thought long and hard over.

It was growing on calcareous grass, (an interesting site, an old quarry next to a disused railway, currently used for cutting and storage of logs also host to bee hives and with a masive old beech stump in the middle). I lean to Melanoleuca but comments much appreciated.

Yes I think its a Melanoleuca....the closest I can find is M.melaleuca?

Thanks Leifus

I thought from the lack of replies, that it was going to be a grey area. You would think, considering the large size and good condition, it would have been easy to establish the genera. Incidentally; I think melaleuca is currently polioleuca.

Thanks very much

the melanoleucas re really varable but I think polioleuca is most likely.

[leifus]

so polioleuca is meloleuca?

[watsthat]

Yes that is correct Liefus. Roger Phillips uses the latest name but my Michael Jordan still says melaleuca.
