Slide 40.
Alpova diplophloeus, also known as Alpova cinamomeus,
is commonly known as Red Gravel or as the Alder False Truffle. Alpova
diplophloeus is distinctive for its association with alder. When
mature the exterior is cinnamon colored and the spore mass is composed
of reddish-brown gel-filled chambers separated by pallid veins. There are
no reports on its edibility but I am on the look out for another collection
which I intend to try.
