Hypsizygus ligustri

An obscure Hypsizygus described by Raithelhuber; the epithet refers to privet (Ligustrum), which suggests it was found on privet wood. GBIF has no usable wild records, and Hypsizygus species are so close genetically that some authors treat them all as one. Culture it as for shimeji.
