When: 2010-10-10
Collection location: Echo Summit, El Dorado Co., California, USA [Click for map]
Notes:
These were apparently growing on the ground in tight clusters at ~ 7000 ft.
Caps up to 4.7 cm across.
Spore print was rusty brown.
Spores were ~ 7.0-8.1 X 5.0-5.5 microns, smooth and no apparent apical pore.
The smooth spores seem to eliminate some common choices so I’m not sure if I’m missing something?!?

Add CommentPholiota from this section rarely get to species, and your microscopy is impeccable. Hopefully next time!
that I’m going through and I didn’t save the FBs.
Only a brief note that the odor was not strong or distinctive.
If you post observations about odor, flavor, caulocystidia and hymenophoral trama arrangement we could probably get to species.

of that subgenus in Smith & Hesler, and based on spores and habitat etc., it appears that Pholiota malicola var. macropoda would be the closest match.
However, not sure I could say the apical pore on the spores is “distinct”, although “but apex not truncate” does work.
