Specimen notes
Public Note:
Sequencing attempt failed. Spores to 15um. Spines to 5um. Peridium unblemished. This has spores that seem different to my 'tea-tree' or 'hinewai'. For those the latter is unblemished and the former blemished (near allochroa). It seems unlikely that an Au Eucalypt associate is found here, just once, with tea-tree and in a locality where two other similar species are present. But I will leave the ID for the moment.
