Observation: Plicaria endocarpoides (7473)

When: 2008-05-07
Collection location: Above Chester CA, about 4800 ft [Search]
Who: Herman Brown (brownthird)
Herbarium specimen available

Notes: I had posted a picture and Darvin Deshazer suggested it might be a Plicaria trachycarpa.
It was growing with several others in a burned area under conifers.
After returning to the site the following day, and taking more pictures, it appears it may actually be the larger Plicaria endocarpoides.

Summary: nice photo; I look forward to seeing it in the flesh this weekend!

I looked this one up; were the fruit bodies all less than 2.5 cm? And how does one tell a “roughened” cup exterior (Plicaria endocarpoides) from a warted one
(trachycarpa)? Looks like spores might (again) be the answer. Check Arora’s MDM, pg. 820, for the descriptions…
