Phlegmacium artosum
Description:
A rare, pale tan Percomes‑lineage Phlegmacium with a viscid, evenly tan cap, grey‑violet young lamellae, and a white stipe with yellowish bulb and violet‑tinged apex.

This is supposed to be a very rare species with only one known collection. Oddly, I have found it twice now, both times from the type location showing rare and rarely collected are two diffrent things.
