Talk:Russula brevipes

Russula chloroides
According to mycobank Russula chloroides is a synonym to R. brevipes and quite common in Europe. Can anyone confirm this? Best regards --Josef Papi (talk) 16:53, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out; I had been using the synonymy from Index Fungorum (who are of the opinion that they are distinct) and had not yet checked MycoBank. I don't think anyone will be able to confirm that the two are conspecific until DNA analysis is performed, and to the best of my knowledge, that hasn't been done yet. If they do turn out to be the same, R. brevipes will have priority as it was published first. However, I will add MycoBank's opinion to this article. Thanks for the note!
