Volvariella koreana

Volvariella koreana is a small sheath mushroom described from Korea in 2009. It grows among or near fruitbodies of the white funnel cap Clitocybe alboinfundibuliforme in hardwood and mixed woods, and the authors suggest the two are associated. It is rare and has never been cultivated; conditions come from the measured sites and the type description.
