Proposed Name	User	Community Vote
*Cantharellus guyanensis*	newmy51	(3)
Used references: Macrohongos de la Región del Medio Caquetá – Colombia (pg. 90)
*Clitocybe sp.*	nathan	(2)
Recognized by sight: Based on the photo it seems more likely to be a Clitocybe than a Cantharellus, but I’m not at all confident of this id. It certainly could be a Cantharellus.

Summary: I'd have to see more info...

I threw in the Clitocybe id since that seems more likely to me than Cantharellus, but I’m at all confident in that name. It’s great that there’s a dried specimen. I take it you’re no longer in Bolivia. Any chance someone at the herbarium could take a few more photos or even better could do a bit of microscope work? It should be fairly straight forward to at least get the family right with a bit of scope work. Is there someone at the herbarium that knows fungi at all? BTW, thanks for all the great photos from South America.

Summary: unavailable

this is the only measly picture I’ve got, but I’d willingly retract my species assertion in place of a better one.

Summary: Closeup of the underside?

I’d love to see a closeup of the underside. From this image it doesn’t look particularly ‘Cantharelloid’. It looks more like what you might see in a Clitocybe.
