Habitat: On soil in deciduous woodlands but strictly associated with Betula spp.

Notes: Although not easily distinguished on morphological data alone, this very dark-capped taxon is nevertheless molecularly distinct. It is likely to be uncommon in Britain although its true distribution requires clarification. The name might not have been validly published due to lack of type designation fide den Bakker & Noordeloos [Persoonia 18(4): 511-587 (2005)].

Distribution: E: !, S: !, W: !, NI: !
