When: 2014-01-14
Collection location: Alpine Lake, Marin Co., California, USA [Click for map]
Project: Exploring Gomphidiaceae
Notes:
Mature specimens growing in mixed woods, probably Doug fir being the closest.
Caps up to 5.7 cm across, and stipes up to 8.0 cm long.
Spores 15.0-18.9 X 5.9-7.6 microns. Q(ave) = 2.58.
Conditions were dry and I did not see any other mushrooms nearby.

is choosing to ignore the microscopic evidence?!?
and perhaps truer.
I admit that I totally missed that. I’ll lower my confidence vote, but I also would love to understand the morphological variation in these species better…
but aren’t the distinctly larger spores of G. glutinosus the distinguishing feature the separates the two species? G. oregonensis spores are always listed as being in the 10-14 micron range.

we had a similar debate over macromorph characters of Gomphidius at the FFSC Fair. Guess that we should have just stuck some spores under the scope, for a more definitive analysis.
