Specimen notes
Public Note:
Lamellae 15-20 (Note Horak's numbers are half these), l-1-2. Lamellae with decurrent tooth. (Horak's group A ). No obvious red tints in photos or dried material (brassy orange). PP a trichoderm of quite broad elements, clamped. Basidia 4-spored with usual variability for Hygrocybe spores. Length: µ=7.6 µm, σ=0.57; Width: µ=4.3 µm, σ=0.37; Q: µ=1.77, σ=0.18; V: µ=74.7 µm^3, σ=15.90: n=20 . With some degree of constriction. H. blanda is certainly where you land in Horak's key, except for the unconvining yellow/orange versus red issue, and clearly many undescribed species not included. Here the PP has trichodermal elements, hyaline, without encrusting pigment, and spores larger and slightly constricted. I do not think this fits Horak's H. blanda, albeit with the description based on a single collection.
