Summary: .

Comment: “The idea of it being an albino spored Pholiota has an appeal to it.”

Hmm. The genus name as well as macroscopic features suggest it is most relative to Pholiota, though, the history of it having been split off from Armillaria suggests it might be more related to Armillaria than Pholiota.
That was my assumption anyway.
But you bring up a very good question.
Tom, what genus is Leucopholiota most closely related to?
