|discussion=<p>A specimen of <i></i>var.<i> rufescens</i> from New Jersey (Austin 51, UBC) is reddish and has small (ca. 20 µm), round, weakly papillose spores; generally, spore size is not a good character. Another specimen, with large (38–40 µm), round, punctulate spores, is piebald with adherent granules similar to the papillae of <i></i>var.<i> muticum</i>. One specimen placed here (California, Santa Clara County, Stanford University, W. Schofield 5724, Feb. 23, 1955, UBC), is rather immature, has a greenish cast and smooth, elliptic spores about 28-30 µm.</p>
