I am not entirely sure about this ID. I am trying to decide between this Clitopilus and the Clitocybe rivulosa. I was able to get a spore print, but it was not a lot. To me it looked white and not flesh colored, but because of the amount of spore deposit, I could have missed the color. The spore shape seems more like the description of the Clitopilus, which is why I am initially placing it here.
Found in the duff in a spruce cedar forest.
Cap was a pale gray and 2.5 cm. Growing solitary but close by each other, scattered.
Scattered / gregarious, growing terrestrially in well fertilized lawn.
Odor and taste not recorded.
99.85% match to Entoloma sp. 2 JL-2020 by MycoQuebec. Other sequences only 97.32% close
Mild aroma, unremarkable but unmistakable for a “Gymnomyces” type truffle. Under fir and mountain hemlock.
Found by truffle dog Rye, one properly hypogeous with no stipe seen but there may have been a rudimentary one that was damaged during the dig. Other one was nearby and erumpent, but still found by Rye and shared the same aroma, so I am guessing they are the same species. I have collected them and kept them separate in case they are different.
Aroma pleasant, difficult to describe, somewhat fruity/fermented but not in an overpowering way.
Found by truffle dog Rye next to the parking area of our campsite, under ponderosa and aspen. Mild, sweet, slightly fruity/citrusy aroma.
Fresh morels, almost certainly cultivated and imported from China, $20/lb at “Chinatown Supermarket of Manhattan.” Delicious! Better than the dried imported variety I think. Saved and dried one for sequencing.
