This collection is the culmination of a nearly 10-year, on and off search for this taxon. Upon bringing it to the attention of a handful of Facebook groups in the form of a "wanted poster" back in September of 2022, the stalwart membership of the Gulf States Mycological Society came up with no less than three collections in rapid succession, made by three of its board members: Logan Wiedenfeld (President), Scott Johnson (Vice President), and Kerri McCabe. Scott would, in the summer of 2023, lead me to the very spot where this "Mary Poppins" collection you see before you -- "practically perfect in every way" -- was made. The GSMS' previous observations of the sp. can be found at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_id=559277, with accompanying commentary on the GSMS members Facebook group.

Microscopy, molecular data, and before too long a proper publication on this sp., are all forthcoming. Stay tuned...
