Mark. yes well... doesn't always happen, and this enquiry is probably about to get dropped as I'll be without internet up in the wilds of NE India for 15 days !
I certainly admire your persistence Pam :)
thanks Mark. I joined... waiting to be accepted then I'll upload it.
this was Danny's response.
I'm trying to get this paper:
Pegler, D.N.; Young, T.W.K. 1989. The genus Anthracophyllum (Tricholomataceae Tribe Collybieae). Mycological Research. 93(3):352-362
to look over what species other than A. archeri are like. in the meantime, the pale colors are not consistent with the examples of Anthracophyllum I’ve seen.
Sarah Prentice sent the article to him, I asked that he forward it onto me.

?
I did ask why they thought is wasn't Anthracophyllum sp, cos they look quite alike to me.
Hmm interesting Mark... Didn't know that about the site. I did notice there is not too much discussion though ! OK is there a site you use on FB for fungi? I'm up for a discussion...
Well thats what really annoys me about that website. There's absolutely zero feedback. Just a yes or no by unknowns.
What's more Anthracophyllum is a genus within the family Marasmiaceae so it's not a case of one OR the other. You would get much more information on a FaceBook discussion.
Thanks Mark. I put Anthracophyllum sp. up as a name suggestion on Mushroom Observer, and it came back from 2 folks with a -16 !! Marasmiaceae is still tops with +56.

I think Anthracophyllum sp.
