Description:
Description: Pileus 3.5-5 cm broad, convex to plano-convex, dry to very slightly tacky at first, but not viscid or glutinous, densely tomentose to matted tomentose, amber yellow (4B6,5,4), even at margin (no veil remnants) but with a white barely visible sterile projection in one medium sized basidiome. Flesh white, unchanging, with mild odor and taste. Tubes adnexed, pale pink at first, becoming vinaceous pink, barely brownish with bruising. Stipe 3.5-5 cm long, 6-15 mm broad, strict or curved, equal, dry, white, slowly developing some pale brown stains at base with handling, alveolate reticulate, with interior white, unchanging, with white basal mycelium. Spores with distinct perforate ornamentation.
Etymology: Named for the Yourka Bush Heritage Reserve, on which site the species was first found.
Registration number: Mycobank MB839206
