and I love your series. It's one of the longest-running, most detailed and surprising series. I feel like I'm following a detailed species survey. Posted 9 years ago

I'm wondering if this might actually be Clavariadelphus occidentalis? It doesn't quite have the flat-topped look of Clavariadelphus truncatus. Posted 4 years ago

  Agreed that this is likely something else. All stages of growth I have seen of C. truncatus are quite truncate/flat-topped. Posted 4 years ago

  While we have both here, C. truncatus much more common.
  Really I'd stick with that too - look at these images to see what they look like in groups that have some newly emerged and some more mature individuals and you'll see why I think that.

    Hmm, good point - I can see what you mean by looking at those images. In that case, I can't tell the difference, but if you are confident in the current ID then I think we should stick with it. Posted 4 years ago
