Significant find. Found within a collected specimen of Calicium viride housed at University of California, Riverside (also on consortium). It doesnt appear that this species was identified for this area before this.

Often occurs with Amanita muscaria.
Timing for this study was based on a 10-25-2018 sighting, which was probably 2 weeks late. Forest Service closures due to the Middle Fork Complex Wildfire made it infeasible to survey the area after the first soaking rains in late September.
