  • Description

    Diagnosis: Pileus convex to plane, dark reddish brown to deep red brown, dry, 3.3–6.1 cm broad, with NH4 blue. Context pale yellow, staining blue.

    Registration number: MB 563625

    Distribution: Northern Thailand

    Ectomycorrhiza: Castanopsis, Dipterocarpus

    Type: THAILAND. Chiang Mai Province: Sangasabhasri lane to Huai Kok Ma village, Doi Suthep National Park, 18°48'24.3''N, 98°54'38''E, 1150 m, 7 June 2006, Neves 117 (HOLOTYPE: MFLU08 1110, ISOTYPE: NY).

    Commentary: The dark red color of the pileus and stipe is notable. Other diagnostic characters include the blue reaction with the application of NH4, the slowly cyanescent flesh, and the thick walled hymenial cystidia. The caulocystidia at the apex of the stipe tend to be more strictly clavate, while the ones at the middle and base are sinuous clavate.
