damontigheDescription
HAY-F-006498
Habitat = small shrumps (4) occurring just above a large debris pile from some young trees that have all fallen in one area. One truffle had mold growing on it and grubs eating it. The other three were solid, no mold.
Scent when fresh = grape soda on a pan fried steak sitting on a rubber mat in the sun.
No UVF observed
Microscopy (2023.10.01)
Spores - round, rough with thick wall, ~up to 32.5 um in diameter, brown
Asci - 8 spores, 250 x 33 um,
paraphyse - swollen tips. 110 x 12 um
tissue was tough. Attempted water mounting, but everything was bound so tight I couldn't see individual structures. KOH mounting and then squishing allowed me to separate asci and paraphyses
