jarenjarenDescription
White cylindrical rhizomorphs spike line at base. Gills attached, light creamy. Under oak, Laurel and redwood duff. White rhizomes rose up half the stipe creating zonate top in beige color. Small size is hard to place this in this category, thought it even might be Lepista subconnexa? Maybe cuphophyllus formicatus?
