Summary: Missing the point

Comment: Both Redhead et al. and Antonin and Noordeloos spell it Contumyces rosella. But I don’t really care about the spelling. What I do care about is which species we have here…is it an Omphalina (Agaricales) or a Contumyces (Hymenochaetales). I’ve never collected a Contumyces, so I am interested to know if I actually occurs in California.

This just goes to show how important vouchers are…but how difficult this is is a story for another day.
