Specimen notes
Public Note:
[GS] Growing in soil beneath mature eucalyptus trees. About 20 mm in height. [JAC] Shirley named a yellow species with Eucalypts R. subaurantiaca, a species described from Tibet. This probably different, being orange. R. subaurantiaca used incorrectly in Australia by Young for what will surely be a native species. Spores 6.6 x 3.3 finely spinulose in melzers. 4-spored [JAC:4/07/2023] sequence indicates this is one of two versions of R. lorithamnus from sequenced Australian material. Note the original colour was described as 'pallid umber' which seems to have morphed into yellow by the time of Petersen. R. sinapicolor might be a safer interpretation. Clampless and low Q spores seem to be the mentioned common characters, but all NZ species in the group are clampless. R. lorithamnus sensu Petersen with Q=1.7 [JAC:6/07/2023] probably misidentification of Ramaria in Australia for iNat currently are Ramaria botrytoides, Ramaria versatilis, Ramaria xanthosperma, Ramaria fennica, Ramaria stuntzii, Ramaria fumigata, Ramaria botrytis, Ramaria subaurantiaca (not RG), Ramaria rasilispora (not RG), Ramaria gracilis (not RG), Ramaria rubripermanens (not RG). [JAC:27/07/2023] hyphae unclamped. 4 spored. Spores very minutely punctate. Length: µ=6.4 µm, σ=0.40; Width: µ=3.7 µm, σ=0.27; Q: µ=1.71, σ=0.14; V: µ=46.9 µm^3, σ=8.43: n=12
