Collector: Berch, S.

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."
