Specimen notes
Public Note:
spores length=6.6-7.6µm (µ=7.1, σ=0.3), width=3.6-4.0µm (µ=3.8, σ=0.1), Q=1.8-2.0µm (µ=1.9, σ=0.1), n=10. Spores size agrees with Agerer, but a bit small for some other authors. Can't agree with Wei & Qin (Mycotaxon v110, p225) that anomala spores have thick walls, although this is mentioned by Cunningham. They certainly aren't in any collection I've seen, and neither do they have a subiculum. So, not convinced by the need to erect C. changbaiensis based on marginally smaller spores.
