Notes
Closest DNA matches were:
AF349704. Tricholoma sp. Ma...[gi:17063385]
AF349703. Tricholoma mutabile
This specimen was idientified as T. portentosum based on Arora's key, but the specimen's light colour and the extensive sequence mismatches with T. portentosum argue against this identification. This may be an undescribed species.
