NSF Posted May 22, 2014 What questions are you trying to answer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted May 22, 2014 Who has come across it would be a good start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NSF Posted May 22, 2014 Ah fair enough. I don't believe I've come across it in my travels. At first glance it resembles Tricholoma terreum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted May 23, 2014 I find most of those online guides include sightings of what the person thinks is this or that - the id'd are never verified. An example is Agaricus langei - despite their being six occurrences recorded on that first page none were microscopically id'd and there are several very similar red-staining agaricus that occur here.

Zen Peddler Posted May 23, 2014 Apparently likes pines and imported hardwoods, especially beech or chestnut trees - strong flaviur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waterboy 2.0 Posted May 23, 2014 BY rights should smell it before even seeing it. One of those NZ records appears to be a noted mycologist (although could be same name) , and on Nothofagus host. which does raise some questions as it differs from the "usual" hosts noted in mushie books. Cannot establish what (if so occurring) hosts have been identified for the aus records... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted May 24, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if it was here. Chestnut trees might be worth a peep. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
