Lyophyllum maleolens

Lyophyllum maleolens M. Melis & Contu (2000) is a Mediterranean Lyophyllum named for its unpleasant smell, with an epitype from southwest Sardinia and records from Pantelleria, France and Switzerland. It fruits in late autumn and winter, and nothing is published on cultivation.
