Remarks

public notes
  Mycorrhizal systems irregularly monopodial-pinnate to monopodial-pyramidal; mycorrhizal ends infrequently slightly bent, with a reddish tint or partly vinaceous; autofluorescence of mantle in section with UV-filter very slightly ochre to whitish blue; in KOH crystals of mantle surface changing to violet, in H2O colour dissolving.
