Summary: The drawing is wrong

My original drawing was done from the fresh material mounted in water and I misinterpreted numerous oil droplets in spores as warts. I went back to the dried material and examined it first in water it look the same as on the original drawing. When I added ammonia, the droplets fused together into one or a few larges ones and the spore surface was clearly smooth. Thank you for your observation. Oluna

Summary: Something weird here

The photo might depict atrata, but the drawings with warty spores look like tylicolor.

The drawing of spores is wrong: oil droplets were misinterpreted as warts. Th spore surface is in fact smooth.
