Specimen notes
Public Note:
This collections has a sequence identical to material identified as H. elegans (PDD 94800, PDD 87663, PDD 87669), which is my tagged H. sp. Waipoua (also probably elegans), also with several sequences, but the spores here are 13 x 9, which is indeed consistent with H. miniceps and much larger than the Waipoua (pseudotype) and other colls.However, there is evidence for both 2 & 4-spored basidia here, resulting in the difference in sizes (not dimorphic basida). See also 94788 which has more obviously split spores sizes. It would seem that ITS is not differentiating these two clearly different taxa.
