Comments: Guepinia helvelloides is not a rare find in Trenta valley. However, this time the find was extremely large, exceeding in size all data in literature I am aware off. Usually the sporocarps are about 5-6 cm tall. Interestingly, also spore width does not fit into expected limits. Spores are significantly larger, so one could suspect a wrong determination of the find. However, to my knowledge, there is nothing similar to this mushroom growing in Slovenia.Growing solitary, two pilei fuzzed at the base; dimensions of the larger 11.5 x 10 cm across and 10.5 cm tall; stipe rudimentary, about 2 cm long and 1.5 cm in diameter, partly hollow; taste mild pleasant, mushroomy; smell indistinctive, on moss(?), SP white, oac909.Spores minutely warty.

Comments: Guepinia helvelloides is not a rare find in Trenta valley. However, this time the find was extremely large, exceeding in size all data in literature I am aware off. Usually the sporocarps are about 5-6 cm tall. Interestingly, also spore width does not fit into expected limits. Spores are significantly larger, so one could suspect a wrong determination of the find. However, to my knowledge, there is nothing similar to this mushroom growing in Slovenia.Growing solitary, two pilei fuzzed at the base; dimensions of the larger 11.5 x 10 cm across and 10.5 cm tall; stipe rudimentary, about 2 cm long and 1.5 cm in diameter, partly hollow; taste mild pleasant, mushroomy; smell indistinctive, on moss(?), SP white, oac909.Spores minutely warty. Dimensions: 9.6 [10.8 ; 11.2] 12.4 x 6.1 [7 ; 7.3] 8.2 microns; Q = 1.3 [1.5 ; 1.6] 1.8; N = 38; C = 95%; Me = 11 x 7.1 microns ; Qe = 1.6.

Spore dimensions do not fit well to data from literature? However, scatter of this character among different authors is very large.Spores smooth.
