    Cap slimy, and scent nauseatic like a cocktail of bleach and millipedes! There was only one specimen around so I did not pick it up. I had a small doubt on Leucoagaricus leucothites! Habitat is more similar to that of the Limacella! Then there is the usual problem between furnaceae and subfurnaceae (!!!) but confirming he Limacella is already a big help!

    Hello, Steve!


    Yes, to me that looks very like Limacella. That genus deserves some more studies, but most of the species are rare to very rare, and especially southern species seem to be poorly studied and understood. So this doesn't look to me like any species that was describes from central european material.

    I would like to call for mollisia (Andreas Gminder, who wrote some important work on that genus) - knowing that he might be very busy, but perhabs if he looks into this forum some time, he might be interested in Your collection.

    Thank you.

    Here Limacella is scarce-frequent and I think there is a single species. It is in the whereabouts of L. furnaceae or L. subfurnaceae, but I can't get the right knowledge how to differentiate between, if ever they are really different. I have plenty of material (exsiccata), images and micro-data to share if someone like Mollisia whish to investigate further. The ones I found are almost always associated with leaf/branch litter of carob trees. The smell is really distinct !
