Specimen notes
Public Note:
This has a truncate cap, with yellowish streaks, and remains of a volva (whispy fragments), on some specimens. The volva surely is just a very low cortina due to secotioid growth. This is also clearly the type locality of 'waterfall creek' (closed to public for many years and open again in 2013). Also within 11 days of the original collection day of 1st August 1948. Collected by W. Stevenson, not Greta, and sent to her in bits. The encrustation on the spores, combined with truncate pileus and silky (not viscid) cutis and host are perhaps adequate for separation. The 'volva' is transient as are the elongate locules which can also be present in C. porphyroides and its smooth spored version. It does not have a lamellate gleba. Currently we have 3 or 4 clade of C. 'porphyroideus' : ITS 1) jac13778(VLQ), 2) jac10838(LQ), 3) C. porphyroideus ss. (no jac colls), 4) smooth spore jac13833, 5) jac13813 near beeverorum. LSU 1) 13813 near dulciolens, 2) ss no jac colls), 3) 10838, 13778, near ohauensis, 4) jac13833. Seems probable that ITS 1 & 2 are the same. So clade A 13778+10838, B ss, C 13833, D 13813. Possibility that clade A = C. coneae, and maybe 13813 = C. violaceovolvatus?
