Notes:
Growing in needle litter at the edge of a parking lot. Potential ECM hosts noticed in the area were Quercus spp., Pinus strobus, Tsuga canadensis, Fagus grandifolia, Carpinus caroliniana and Betula alleghaniensis (probably not for this one). Caps viscid. Odor not distinctive. Taste acrid. Latex watery and slowly drying green. and staining tissues green. Spharocysts present in the gill trama. Pleurocystidia present. Spores strongly amyloid and reticulate. Spore projections measured between 0.9 and 1.8 µm high. May have overlooked shorter projections. Spore measurements from Piximetre: (8.1) 8.2 – 9.1 (9.8) × (5.8) 6.1 – 6.9 (7) µm, Q = (1.2) 1.3 – 1.4 (1.5); N = 20, Me = 8.6 × 6.5 µm; Qe = 1.3
Individual spores: 8.73 × 6.84 µm, 8.32 × 6.52 µm, 8.22 × 6.04 µm, 8.43 × 6.54 µm, 8.73 × 6.68 µm, 9.11 × 6.35 µm, 8.89 × 6.91 µm, 8.34 × 6.25 µm, 8.63 × 6.59 µm, 8.11 × 6.11 µm, 8.34 × 6.51 µm, 8.93 × 6.59 µm, 8.81 × 6.38 µm, 8.46 × 5.80 µm, 8.29 × 6.45 µm, 9.84 × 6.93 µm, 8.21 × 6.57 µm, 8.39 × 6.60 µm, 8.08 × 6.20 µm, 9.40 × 6.98 µm

Add CommentThe spore measurements are a bit off for L. kauffmanii var. kauffmanii, but out of all of the available options, it seemed to be the best fit.

The sequence which this matches (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide/KF359599) is from the Smoky Mountains and is probably misnamed, while the west coast sequences (such as https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nucleotide/KP889372) differ significantly. The west coast collections also have a much darker stem.
