Substrate: Soil and Duff

Collector: Berch, S.

Determiner: Ammirati, J.; Liimatainen, K.

Collection location: Motase Peak (near Shelagyote Peak), B.C.

Remarks: on ground near Abies lasiocarpa (Hooker) Nuttall; field collection 85; cap smooth and glossy; stem short; Ammirati says "Your field collection 85! As Kare indicated this is an interesting species, perhaps without a name, although there are still a number of unresolved arctic/alpine Telamonia. It does not key out to any species for certain. The habit and coloration of the basidiomata, the black exsiccatae, and the moderately large, slightly verrucose basidiospores are an interesting combination of features. This is one where more material and sequence data would be helpful."

C. detonsus (Fr.:Fr.) Fr., your field collection 78, is a similar to laetus morphologically, however, it has basidiospores 9-10 x 5-6.5, ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid, slightly verrucose to nearly smooth, while the basidiospores of C. laetus are 10-12.5 (-14) x 5.2-6.8 µm, somewhat more verrucose and amygdalioform. Your field collections 73 and 78 both have relatively large spores, here it would be a good idea to sequence additional material and compare these two taxa."

Collection location: Motase Peak (near Shelagyote Peak), B.C.

Remarks: on ground with Salix stolonifera Coville; field collection 60; cap shiny purple brown; stem upper part purple; odour raw potato; Ammirati says "This is a fairly frequent species of arctic and alpine habitats with Salix. Your field collection 60 fits in general with the morphological features of C. subtorvus, however, your material lacks the characteristic heavy white veil and the basidiospsores are longer than normal for this taxon. More material from the field would be helpful here, especially since this is a widespread species in arctic/alpine habitats."

Your field collections 56, 61 with Salix stolonifera fit this species morphological and microscopically. This taxon may be further evaluated in the future, but for now this is a suitable identification."
