malacothrix's Identifications

Unfortunately I couldn't get the phone to pick it up, but this was VERY green in person! Almost like Gliophorus psittacinus!

Update: likely the same as https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/3553971

DNA sequence (to be added soon) was not a match to anything in Genbank. Closest matches at 92.8% were B. callistus (many) and B. psittacinus.
