discussion
Zhuliangomyces
subillinitus has similar pigmentation of the
cap and gluten and a margin that becomes distinctly
striate with age. The present taxon was first
distinguished from Z. subillinitus
molecularly—by the distinctnes of the nrITS and nrLSU
sequences derived from Lewis 9239.

Each spore data set is intended to comprise a set of measurements from a single specimen made by a single observer;
and explanations prepared for this site talk about specimen-observer pairs associated with each data set.
Combining more data into a single data set is non-optimal because it obscures observer differences
(which may be valuable for instructional purposes, for example) and may obscure instances in which
a single collection inadvertently contains a mixture of taxa.
