Sample note
According to the researchers the Northern and Southern Hemisphere species are not the same. They used the name "Dermocybe sanguinea (sensu Cleland). The species grow singly or in small groups in mixed Eucalyptus forest, usually among grass. They are distinguised by their blood-red cap and thin red-orange fibrilous stipe. The samples were collected as whole fresh fruit bodies along the Island Hop track near Marysville, Victoria, Australia, were homogenized and soaked in EtOH. Voucher specimens of Dermocybe sanguinea (sensu Cleland) are lodged in the herbarium of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburg, U.K., under accession number WAT20931.
