This is one of the most anonymous
Telamonia one can encounter, but it still has its defining
characteristics. The shiny, cylindrical stem with weakly developed ring of
white veil; the pale, slightly eroded gill edges; and most of all a montane
to alpine habitat narrow the choices quite much. The collection illustrated
is from S.E. Europe, altitude 1800m, under Pinus
heldreichii and Pinus peuce. |
