good ID based on what I see on Mushroom Expert.
Good fit on spores also and even down to the stuffed pores on one of the fbs.
Thanks I. G.
it was the last day of my trip and my drier and I were both overloaded.
I didn’t recognize the rather unique qualities of this pair.
This is an interesting collection in terms of morphology and geography. It’s a shame you could not save these.
B. atkinsonii is infrequent even the Northeast; I am sure it’s often confused with the ubiquitous B. variipes. I am yet to find this species myself. If the ID is accurate, the southern distribution range of this species needs to be updated. :-)
