Smell Indistinct Season Summer to autumn Distribution Very rarely recorded Habitat Usually on soil, rarely on rotten wood from deciduous trees Edibility Unknown Notes The specimen shown was DNA sequenced by Eric Janke in association with the BMS. Surprisingly the results were rather confusing and did not match the two P. diettrichii sequences on GenBank. That said, P. nanus and p. cinereofuscus sequences are spread over multiple branches in the phylogenetic tree.
