  • Investigating further, I'm not sure this species is even found in Europe. I have Courtecuisses's (1999) Mushrooms of Britain and Europe, Laessoe's (2002) Mushrooms (which describes European species) and Gruenert & Reid's (1995) Field Guide to Mushrooms of Britain and Europe, and none of them mention this species, but they all have S. hirsutum.

  • If it's not distinguishable without micro work, does it really reduce from the EV? Anyways if it was the other species the picture would have looked the same. By the way, the article may need some work, because it mentions this species as "false turkey-tail". Tomer T (talk) 18:29, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
