100% match to a sequence from an unpublished paper by Berube,J.A., Gadomski,J., Labbe,R., Leboeuf,R., Gagne,P., Dube,J., Maaref,C., Labrecque,J. and Lambert,H. TITLE The Quebec Mushroom Project

On dung? owl pellets? in moss along trail.

First two photos were taken after it grew(!) for two days in the tackle box.

Excited to see my first ever Limacella! Yellow-brown coppery colors, extremely slimy and slippery! Photos 2 & 3 show a thin strand of the glutinous veil extending from the stipe to cap margin. Gills white, stipe whitish with areas concolorous with the cap.

Amanita IUMQ4264 Validae

First id. Amanita sp. "aureosubucula"
Syn =Amanita rubescens f. annulosulfurea

Une première au Québec.
Grégaire, sous feuillus nobles, dans une chênaie calcaire mixte, sur sol humide, Oka.
Récolté après la pluie en compagnie de Yves Lamoureux, Janie Poitras et Annabelle Langlois.

Chapeau 6 cm diam. devenant crème à brun rouge brique, marge unie mais apparaissant sillonnée à maturité.
Voile partiel laissant un anneau membraneux, strié au-dessus, blanc jaunâtre au dessus et jaune soufre au dessous.
Pied 8 cm longueur, 6mm épaisseur, bulbeux, blanchâtre à concolore au chapeau, taché de rouge brique.
Voile universel jaune soufre laissant des flocons sur le chapeau.
Sporée blanche.

Note ; voir ref. Amanitaceae.org ;
"The name Amanita rubescens f. annulosulfurea is applied to those specimens of Amanita rubescens which differ only in having a sulfur-yellow ring on the stem. Dr. C. Bas (Leiden, the Netherlands) and I have discussed this species. Dr. Bas informs me that he has searched diligently for other macroscopic or microscopic character correlated with a colored annulus and that he found none. This being the case, the name appears to lack taxonomic value and is not included in the list of taxa for this site.—R. E. Tulloss".

Probably on the remains of Lactarius deceptivus.

Easternmost observation currently posted. Hughes et al 2001 only lists collections from the Western USA.

Second encounter. There were 5 units near each other. Two were together. Stipe feels wiry. It has a primitive look. Concolorous. Spores are brown so are all the cells. On hardwood debris. Cap 3.6 cm. Stipe 6.2 cm. Gills decurrent and thick. Spore print was a very washed whit-brown tone. In my first observation, I was wrong about the spores being ornamented. Here there is a better photo.

Good match to type
First Indiana collection. Only other DNA match is the sequence of the type collection.

HRL4237

Les spécimens ont été trouvés au travers des repousses de jeunes arbres abattus il y a deux ans dans l'emprise d'Hydro-Québec.

Forte odeur de boule à mites. Chapeaux de 5-19 mm. Le chapeau très foncé avec une marge blanche fortement contrastante semble être caractéristique de l'espèce.

Les caractères microscopiques correspondent à ceux de l'espèce, décrite en 2016 par Adamcik, Birkebak et Looney.

On a mossy ground, on a lawn. The caps were up to 3cm in diameter. The spore print is salmon.
Spores are angular shaped, measured
*(9.6) 10 - 11.5 (11.9) × (6.8) 7.4 - 8.5 (8.8) µm
Q = (1.1) 1.3 - 1.5 ; N = 26
Me = 10.8 × 7.9 µm ; Qe = 1.4

Resupinate polypore of delicate aspect; several decimeters in extent. on small hardwood branch against the ground. Mossy woods. 4-5 irpicoid pores of arachnoid appearance. Delicate, papery to touch; very thin; pores grow up to margin. Delicate fibrose aspect of pores; sometimes they look like teeth! Micro was done in Melzers. No reaction to it. The spore shape and the presence of halocystidia and rosettes of crystals confirm its ID.

Growing on a corticated Fagus grandifolia log. Odor not distinctive. All structures inamyloid. Dendrohyphidia absent. Inflated cystidia abundant in the subhymenium. Basidia 4-sterigmate. Spores smooth, hyaline and thin-walled. Spore measurements: (3.6) 4 – 5 (5.5) × (2.2) 2.3 – 3.1 (3.5) µm; Q = (1.4) 1.5 – 1.9 (2.1); N = 30; Me = 4.5 × 2.7 µm; Qe = 1.7.

Polypore-like, with glowing lemon yellow blunt teeth. Light weight, spongy texture. Many caps, laterally attached to a giant fallen root: Nyssa sylvatica. KOH darkened its teeth. Smelled sweet and of passion fruit. Teeth are blunt, round and even flatten. When new they are almost white with a glassy look, and embedded in a white 'subiculum'. Teeth darken when older to a yellow mustard tone. They are white inside. Teeth glow near edge of cap. It also grows effused/resupinate, hidden among the tree roots. Teeth are darker towards their base. Cap is spongy, brown, light brown and cream and covered with debris and soil. Aspect is not smooth. In transversal section, the flesh looks spongy and is white. Spores print is copious and brownish. Spores 1.5 x 2-2.3 um with thick walls. The fungus was covered with masses of spores.
