material examined

U.S.A.: NORTH CAROLINA—Wake Co. - Raleigh, Umstead St. Pk. [35.8725º N/ 78.761º W, 125 m], 29.vi.2017 Geoff Balme s.n. [mushroomobserver #280358] (RET 798-7, nrLSU seq'd.).

discussion

This taxon is one of a small group that is provisionally called "stirps Crassiputamen." This group appears to share a common nrLSU sequence, while the members have unique nrITS sequences and are morphologically distinct. To see more about this group and why it is proposed, see the discussion data field of the A. crassiputamen page.

Before this situation was clarified by larger sample sizes, this site separated and recombined species in group several times.

Further morphological study of the group is on-going.
