Talk:Harrya chromapes

Points of Interest

 * Opening Paragraph


 * The evidence for erecting a new genera included morphological features, which were confirmed by the molecular evidence.
 * Changed to this: "In 2012, it was transferred to the newly created genus Harrya when it was established that morphological and molecular evidence demonstrated its distinctness from the genera in which it had formerly been placed." How does that sound? Sasata (talk) 18:16, 8 September 2013 (UTC)


 * In fact, molecular evidence that was inconclusive existed before this study, I believe it was in Manfred's thesis and a 2000 paper, "28S rDNA sequence data and chemotaxonomical analyses on the generic concept of Leccinum (Boletales)".


 * I do not believe the "scabers" are true scabers, that is, formed in the same manner as the true scaber of Leccinum and Leccinellum. I'll check later though cause I cannot remember for sure
 * Taxonomy


 * We now know that the spore print color range that was previously associated with Tylopilus is no limited to Tylopilus
 * Similar Species


 * The yellow foot seems to me to be the only constant feauture. I have collected specimens that lacked the scabers and/or lacked any pink tones.  No matter what, even after a good rain, I have always seen the yellow foot.  Though sometimes I did have to cut the mushroom open a bit to find it.
 * Not sure if it is appropriate, but I think, as do some others, there may be two lineages: one for conifers and one for oaks


 * Fun Fact

All the MEN specimens in the paper were collected less than 10 miles from the type locality. All I have time for right nowM.E.Nuhn (talk) 05:21, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
