Summary:
Could be X. fraternus

Summary:
Clearly not X.rubellus in the original sense of Krombholz and our European species.
This is clearly different from the European X.rubellus.

Is there significance to the distinctive greenish band apparent in the photo of the pore surface fragment? When I squeezed a little piece of the cap that had broken off (after taking the picture on the leaf in the first image) the pore surface turned greenish. Perhaps the spores are greenish? Als...
