Singer. For years investigators have collected this taxon, commonly identified as M. griseoviridis A.H. Sm. (= M. epipterygia var. griseoviridis sensu Maas Geesteranus 1992), at higher elevations in the Sierra Nevada of California during the spring months. Based upon our investigations, we have chosen to segregate this taxon from M. griseoviridis due to macroscopic, microscopic, and habitat differences that exist between the material found in California and that found growing in eastern North America. The holotype specimen of M. griseoviridis was collected under Quercus sp. during the Fall in Michigan. The California taxon is found only in the Spring growing at high elevations on or near decaying wood of Abies spp., and associated with the moisture produced by melting snow near which it is commonly encountered. In addition to these habitat and seasonal differences, M. nivicola differs from M. griseoviridis in that M. nivicola lacks a “conspicuously white-pruinose” pileus surface, lacks greenish coloration to the lamellae, lacks a strong farinaceous taste and odor, and forms larger basidiospores (see below).</p> <p>It was suspected at the outset of this investigation that M. griseoviridis var. cascadensis A.H. Sm., described from Baker Lake, Washington as a summer (spring at higher elevations) fruiter on Abies logs, was possibly the same taxon commonly encountered in the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges of California. Investigations of the holotype specimen of M. griseoviridis (AHS 15498; MICH!), several additional collections from Michigan (AHS 6159, AHS 6165, AHS 15516, HDT 512; all at MICH), numerous collections of the California taxon, and the holotype specimen of M. griseoviridis var. cascadensis (AHS 16656; MICH!) revealed that with the exception of spore size, the micromorphology of all three taxa is much too similar to be useful in delimiting these species. Mycena griseoviridis has smaller spores overall (x m = 9.5 × 6.0 μm) than does M. nivicola (x m = 10.9 × 6.2 μm). The holotype specimen of M. griseoviridis var. cascadensis has spores within the same size range as the type variety. Additionally, Smith’s (1947) description of M. griseoviridis var. cascadensis indicates that this taxon has a more gray to yellow colored pileus than M. nivicola, and lacks the reddish brown coloration that develops on the stipe base in mature basidiomes of M. nivicola. Until further specimens from Baker Lake, Washington matching the protologue of M. griseoviridis var. cascadensis are collected and studied, we recognize the latter taxon as distinct from M. nivicola.</p> <p>Pairwise comparison of ITS sequence data for the holotype collection of M. nivicola (KX513843) with sequences of Mycena epipterygia (of which M. griseoviridis is considered a variety by Maas Geesteranus) from California, Washington, Tennessee, British Columbia, Italy and Sweden (KX513842, KP406534, FJ596884, DQ384586, EF530946, EU486451, HQ604771, HQ604772, KP454034, HM240533, JF908458, JF908460, JF908468, AY781261, GU234008), indicate 5.6%–6.8% difference between this taxon and M. nivicola in aligned, overlapping regions. However, among the ITS sequences of those collections identified as M. epipterygia, pairwise comparisons recover differences of 0%–10.3%, suggesting that the taxon is highly variable for this marker and likely represents multiple cryptic taxa at the species level. Pairwise comparison of the more conserved nLSU region for an additional M. nivicola specimen (KX13847) with sequences of M. epipterygia specimens from California and Germany (KX13846, AY207249) indicate 0.7–3.6% difference between aligned, overlapping regions, respectively. Comparison of nLSU sequences from the two M. epipterygia specimens reveal a difference of only 0.3%.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1B2D2402FE52CF4987D4FF27D7812967	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

California: Marin Co., Mt. Tamalpais State Park, Simmons Summit south, under Arctostaphylos glandulosa, possibly on buried wood, 13 December 1996, J. R. Blair 270 (SFSU). Mendocino Co., Jackson State Demonstration Forest, junction of roads 408 and 409, cespitose on bark of Pseudotsuga menziesii, 23 November 2002, DED 7532 (SFSU); Jackson State Demonstration Forest, Mendocino Woodlands Camp, cespitose on bark of Pseudotsuga menziesii, 11 November 2007, BAP 547 (SFSU).</p> <p>Comments:— Mycena bulliformis belongs in sect. Rubromarginatae Singer ex. Maas Geest. due to the violaceous lamellar edges, red to violaceous tones on the pileus, and lack of latex. Within North America, M. bulliformis is most likely confused with M. rubromarginata (Fr.: Fr.) P. Kumm. sensu Maas Geesteranus (1986, 1992), and within California, M. purpureofusca (Peck) Sacc. Mycena rubromarginata has been reported from the bark of spruce and fir throughout northern North America and as far south as Oregon in the west and North Carolina in the east (Smith, 1947). Micromorphologically, M. bulliformis resembles M. rubromarginata in the shape of its cheilocystidia, but differs in the shape and size of both the pileipellis and stipe cortical hyphae excrescences. Mycena rubromarginata is characterized by more or less narrow, cylindrical, and very long pileipellis excrescences (up to 36 μm; Maas Geesteranus 1986, 1992), and short, cylindrical stipe cortical hyphae excrescences, whereas M. bulliformis has pileipellis and stipe cortical hyphae excrescences that are generally shorter and coarser and/or inflated (2.0–15.2 (–23) 1.6–6.4 μm diam.). In addition, M. bulliformis has some pileipellis hyphae that are smooth, a condition not reported in M. rubromarginata. Mycena purpureofusca, in contrast, is typically much more purple to violaceous in pileus, stipe and lamellar edge coloration than is M. bulliformis, often has a raphanoid odor, and can be further distinguished by pileipellis and stipe cortical hyphae that are embedded in gelatinous matter.</p> <p>Additional species of section Rubromarginatae that superficially resemble M. bulliformis include, M. seynii Quél., M. seynesiella Malençon, and M. renati Quél. Microscopically, M. bulliformis differs from M. seynii in having slightly shorter spores [10.5–15(–16) × 6–7.5(–8) μm in M. seynii; Robich 2003], and cheilocystidia that are typically irregular-lageniform in shape or with more than one long, coarse excrescense. The typical cheilocystidia in M. seynii are subcylindrical to clavate or subfusiform, and with or without one or more shorter, coarse excrescences (Kühner 1938, Maas Geesteranus 1986, 1992, Robich 2003). Macromorphologically, M. bulliformis can be distinguished from M. seynii by the lack of yellow tones that often develop on the pileus of M. seynii, as well the lack of a rooting stipe, and the lack of a dense coating of whitish fibrils or tomentum on the lower portion of the stipe that is common in M. seynii. Maas Geesteranus (1986, 1992) reported the presence of “watery white to dingy whitish” coloration on the lower stipe in M. seynii, a condition that has not been observed in M. bulliformis. Moreover, M. bulliformis is not known to grow on the fallen cones or wood of Pinus spp., which is reported to be the common habit of M. seynii (Kühner 1938, Maas Geesteranus 1986, 1992, Robich 2003). Mycena seynesiella can be differentiated from M. bulliformis by the presence of a removable, gelatinous pellicle in the former species, as well as a chlorine-like or nitrous-like odor, and the presence of copper and pale honey tones that develop on the pileus and stipe respectively. Neither M. seynii nor M. seynesiella have been reported from North America. Mycena renati differs from M. bulliformis in forming differently shaped cheilocystidia, has smaller basidiospores (8.8–10.4(–10.8) × 4.8–5.6 μm), and in forming a distinctly yellow stipe (Maas Geesteranus 1992, Robich 2003). Mycena renati was reported from decayed conifer wood in North America, including California, by Smith (1947, as Mycena rubromarginata var. laracis Smith = Mycena elegantula Peck). However, Smith’s concept of this taxon has proved to include several distinct species (see Perry &amp; Desjardin 1999), and to our knowledge M. renati has not been documented from California.</p> <p>Pairwise comparison of ITS sequence data from a single collection of M. bulliformis (KX513844) with sequences of M. rubromarginata from Austria (JF908430), Denmark (KX513845), Norway (JQ358810), and British Columbia (EF530939, KP454009, HM240536, HM240537) indicate 4.6%–5.0% difference between aligned, overlapping regions, while comparison of the sequences of M. rubromarginata indicate a difference of only 0–0.35% for the same marker. Comparison of sequence data for the more conserved nLSU from the same M. bulliformis collection (KX513848) with sequence data of M. rubromarginata from Germany (AY20745) and Denmark (KX513849), indicate a 1.1% difference between aligned, overlapping regions. In contrast, the sequences of M. rubromarginata from Germany and Denmark are 100% identical throughout all overlapping regions. Similar pairwise comparisons of ITS sequence data for M. bulliformis with existing sequences of M. purpureofusca from British Columbia (HQ604763, HQ604764, HQ604765, HQ604766, HQ604767) and Norway (JQ358809), indicate differences of 1.7–1.9% between aligned, overlapping regions. Comparison of the sequence data for these same M. purpureofusca collections indicates pairwise differences of only 0.0–0.17%.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1B2D2402FE50CF4C87D4F88CD5562A4F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
