Specimen notes
Public Note:
basal mycelium pale yellow, pubescent and contrasting with the stipe. Stipe context chrome yellow, even on dried material. Hyphae clamped. Consistently 4-spored. No dimorphic basidia. Spores variable to 8 x 5 including apiculus Stipe hollow. Pileus context also chrome yellow. Pileus a trichoderm with elemnts to 5um diam. This does fit elegans except for plasmatic colour of PP, pileus context colour, and number of lamellae. However the Horak's description is based on just two collections, which may or may not represent the same species.
