Remarks

• public notes
  Mycorrhizal systems irregularly open to regularly closed pinnate; mycorrhizal ends at first sulfur-yellow, later pale coral or pale pinkish cream; cystidia heavily encrusted; emanating hyphae with infrequent clamps, heavily to moderately encrusted; rhizomorph peripheral hyphae moderately to heavily encrusted, encrustation dull yellow in mass; autofluorescence with UV-filter deep maroon; in KOH immediately light orange but quickly changing to dull reddish orange and a pink tint evident from underlying tissue largely disappearing, in ethanol young mantle immediately dull white and a pink tint evident from underlying tissue largely disappaering, in H2SO4 conc immediately light reddish-orange which decolourizes after a few minutes, in NH4OH conc immediately bright reddish orange and then quickly fading; mycorrhizae in brown-rotted wood.
