Kuehneromyces not recorded in Australia http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:catalogueoflife.org:taxon:4f8cdf03-52c2-102c-b3cd-957176fb88b9:col20120124#tab_classification search Strophs and Armillaria.
What a wonderful experience. We have no depth of culture here to compare.
Well, I piked Kuehneromyces Mutabilis in the forests of Romania and they look quite similar to Honey mushrooms (we call them Ghebe, both the Armillaria and Kuehneromyces). As a kid I didn't made the distinction in between them, but later on... and I started looking it up. Most of the mushrooms I knew when I was a kid, I knew them from my grandmother and for some I dodn't know the name, I just knew that they were eadible and some not. You can imagine that if I didn't know the name for all the edible species, the inedible or poisonous were mostly a blur. Still to this day most of the mushrooms have only latin names for me, as the common name in Romanian is a mistery for me. Plus, there aren't a lot of Books published about all of them in Romanian. What I can find here are books that describe mostly the same edible species and the most common. The English literature was of help here.
Thanks CV. Where do you get these names? :) It looks a good one to consider. (and Strophariaceae)
