Remarks

• public notes
  Mycorrhizal ends at most very slightly sinuous, mottled to uniform brown, older parts grey-brown; middle layers of mantle in plan view with irregularly polygonal cells; inner mantle layers in plan view with irregular polygonal to epidermoid cells; measurement of septal distance of emanating hyphae refers to distance between clamps, the same is true for central non-vessel-like hyphae of rhizomorphs; in longitudinal sections Hartig net sometimes only comprising 2/3 of radial epidermal walls; in KOH hyphae display a gelatinous feature, in FeSO4 mantle bluish-grey.
