| • public notes | |
| Mycorrhizae usually white to buff when young, darkening with age to various shades of orange or grey-brown, all mycorrhizae retain an opaque milk-white lustre; loose, straggly, hyphae can frequently be seen close to mantle surface; in cotton-blue hyphae in young mantle stain strongly blue. | |
