Public Note:
distinct but small lateral stipe. Gills drying pale yellow but spores definitely hyaline. Spores thin and thick-walled, subspherical, 6um, inamyloid, cap hyphae with crystal encrustation, dimitic (thick walled skeletal hyphae present), large clamps, sometimes with loop. Without pleurocystidia, filamentous cheilocystidia, gill trama with crystals. No tissue amyloid or dextrinoid. Cap hairy with pilocystidia, like cheilocystidia. Description note that 'cheilocystidia' aren't. No sign of awl-shaped cells. This is the true C. candissimum which is not the same as Segedin's taxon. That has pip-shaped spores. That is congeneric with her C. roseum, which also isn't a Cheimonophyllum. Note the ivory-yellow colouration of the gills in older/dried mateial and the strictly globose (not pip-shaped) spores. Some images of northen hemisphere 'C. candissimum' do not show this, and are also therefore questionably placed.
