                   If it were not for the unmistakeable structure of this fungus

                   I would have doubts about my identification.

                   The 5 specimens observed range from pale brown to pale yellow

                   and were found at an elevation of 300 metres in March.

                   My textbooks suggest an elevation of 700+ metres from late 

                   summer to autumn.
