Growing on very fine decaying grass stems in mossy, damp area under Artemisia.
Spectacular find by @ravenoftheisle
Exterior slightly fuzzy hairy ; very robust and heavy compared to P. ammophila; paler colors overall.
With Willow (Salix).
Measured 10 spores:
23-27 x 15-17 µm; avg: 24.7 x 16 µm
Q 1.4-1.6, avg 1.5
Spores large, smooth, ellipsoid, uniguttulate, with a wall. Asci 8-spored, without apical apparatus.
This more or less falls in line with the accounts given by Yao, especially given the large fruitbodies.
