I am glad the paper is finally out
Hi Caleb,
the other bluing species that you mention (cyanopus / phaeocyanopus) have a different type of cap surface and belong in section Celluloderma. We do not have micro photos for this collection, but in Pluteus by looking at the external aspect of the cap you can make an educated guess about to which section it belongs. To me everything in this collection points to section Pluteus
growing on decayed cedar. From WA, USA http://mushroomobserver.org/113712?q=1UAuE
I do believe this to be part of the bluing plutei complex. Im sure it is not P. salicinus. But may be P. cyanopus, or P. phaeocyanopus. Likely the former. I have some collections i am studying right now that are also likely NA P. salicinus
Would it be possible to send a part of this collection for further study?
The bluish color of the stipe and the general aspect points to the P. salicinus group but almost certainly this is not salicinus (which as far as we can tell right now does not occur in North America)
so excited to read it!!
