Bolbitus sp
Location: Kresge Gulch, UCSC Campus, Santa Cruz County, California, USA
Collection Date: 14-Feb-14
Project #: CSALVA-14
Comments: Recent online arguments regarding the similarity of this species to B. tubans and B. aleuriatus in the European specimens prompted me to include this species in the first sequencing round. We know it well (it's not uncommon on well rotted oak and tanoak bark), but it appears to be an undescribed species. Its genetic sequence showed affinity, but not conspecificity with European Bolbitus species.
Sequence: >E01_3076_1F+ITS4_85
