These collections represent a cluster of 2-3 fairly
common, but undescribed Gymnopus species with certain
affinity to the much smaller
Gymnopus villosipes. Prof. Desjardin (SFSU) with whom I have
discussed these collections is well aware of them and the need for more
work to define just how many species are involved and eventually to
describe them. Apparently. the Gymnopus book is too thin
to deal with all of the material from Western North America. |
