Unfortunately stunted and pre-dehydrated.. too hot and dry outside.. Growing from deformed masses of Kuehneromyces lignicola. Very fruity smelling.

Some specimens were left attached and log was moved into a damp creekbed to revisit in case of further development

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
