Specimen notes
Public Note:
With lamellulae and interveining, gills drying yellow. Spores weakly amyloid, 4-spored 5-9x5-6um broadly ellipsoid, with cheilocystidia, without pleurocystidia, caulocystidia in fascicles, irregular in shape and with brown plasmatic content, tissue clamped, cap a cutis, with trichoderm pilocystidia elongate and also like caulocystidia. Clitocybula in Horak without cheilocystidia, with basal tomentum but that not coloured, cantharellula with fusoid spores and no cheilocystidia cc. Horak. Doesn't key. Largent hydropus if amyloid, clitocybe if not. From Singer Neotropica the key feature is the cap cystidia which this has. Hydropus section marginelii and close to subcartilagineus. I suspect some would place in Trogia (sensu Singer, Corner, Pegler) but that seems more safely associated with lilac colours. Fuhrer's 'Trogia straminea' is close. Doesn't fit any of Pegler's Sri Lanka taxa. Again Egon's suggestion is O. foetida but I don't think so. As a Hydropus it would have sarcodimitic tissue in the stem. Does it? Be aware that PDD87079 has not been sequenced. If ever an orange Gerronema turns up (like Cook Islands specimens) then see Stevenson's Omphalina wellingtonensis.
