infundibulicybe geotropa is another giant species that apparently shares the range of clitocybe maxima; its cap has a central bump which remains, even when the mushroom becomes shallowly vase-shaped. in addition, its stem is often longer. the most reliable separator, however, is microscopic: its spores...
tricholomas, christensen and heilmann-clausen ( ) note that "[r]eports of t. sejunctum from north america in bessette et al. ( ) might well represent t. viridilutescens." the bessette publication is tricholomas of north america ( ), and it designates "conifers, especially pine and spruce" as the association for...
