A los pies de un olivillo, medía unos 8-10 cm de alto y lamelas amarillas, en la base parecía tener volva, restos de escamas en el píleo, la esporada blanca y las esporas elipsoides y sin ornamentación.

Tephrocybe sp. 'Mt Holdsworth (PDD 87392)'

Has white basal rhizoids. No smell, no taste. Spores hyaline, not amyloid or dextrinoid. No cheilocystidia or pleurocystidia. Cap a cutis with gelatinized surface layer. Not ramealis but weakly nodulose. With dextrinoid sub-cutis. Clamped. 4-spored. 6x3um. No caulocystidia. Sequence identical to PDD72743. ITS+LSU no support. A gen. nov., not Tephrocybe. (written in 2007 - and now at least with a genus name Tricholyophyllum)

Strong scent somewhere between the odor of a truffle and a Suillus pungens. Difficult to dry as it seems to have a very high oil content. Found growing near a rotten log and a series of tree roots. The only tree around was Nothofagus pumilo (Lenga tree).

Spores - elongated 10-12um in length with 1-3 oil droplets inside
