Hello everyone, On 08/04/26, I found a growth sit
Cap up to 2 cm, irregularly lobed; inrolled; free from stipe, upper surface brown, undersurface cream to pale brown, pubescent,
Stipe up to 5 cm long, up to 1 cm wide, white to cream.
Spores 19-22 x 11.5-14.5, elliptical, smooth; with one large oil droplet.
Paraphyses with subclavate to clavate apices
?
Difficult to say something with only one specimen... Three species could be investigated: Helvella latispora, H. albella and H. elastica (although the latter is less obvious).
More data about the cells on the outer surface will be useful, and also on the ecology.
Is there a brown pigment into the paraphyses?
Best,
Fidel
If we believe in the spore size given by Boudier when describing H. latispora, your collection should be H. stevensii, as far as we consider separated these last two.
Regards
Mario
