Bibliographic record
Abstract
Albomagister subaustralis (A.H. Sm. & Hesler) Sánchez-García, Birkebak & Matheny, Taxon 63: 1000 (2014) Figs. 5A–5B, 7A– 7C. = Hygrophorus subaustralis A.H. Sm. & Hesler, Lloydia 5: 46 (1942) Habit tricholomatoid, resembling small forms of Tricholoma columbetta. Pileus 27–44 mm wide, bluntly conical with an inflexed margin when young, expanding to plano-convex or applanate with age, with a broad umbo; surface dull, matte, felted and slightly radially fibrillose towards the margin; white, at times yellowish at the center, not hygrophanous; context white and dull, odor mild or somewhat unpleasant, not farinaceous. Lamellae sinuate, close with several tiers of lamellulae, slightly yellowish white, broad (up to 7 mm deep), edges concolorous and entire in appearance. Stipe 45–55 × 5–10 mm, equal, at times somewhat flexuous, fragile; surface dry but on occasion with beads of moisture at the apex, tomentose on the lower part, veil absent; white; stuffed to hollow. Basidiospores 4– 4.6 – 5(5.3) × 3.5– 3.8 –4(4.3) µm, Q 1.10– 1.25 –1.40 (n = 61/3), broadly elliptic to subglobose, at times with a guttule, hyaline, thin-walled, inamyloid and nondextrinoid, with a distinct apiculus, white in deposit. Basidia 20–28 × 5–6 µm, 4-spored, narrowly clavate to cylindric, hyaline, thin-walled. Pleurocystidia 26–56 × 8–15 µm, narrowly utriform or fusiform to utriform, rarely oblong to obovate, with rounded or obtuse apices, long pedicellate, thin-walled, hyaline; scattered, somewhat more frequent towards the fertile lamellar edges. Cheilocystidia similar to pleurocystidia, at times slenderly clavate, scattered and mixed with fertile basidia. Pileipellis a cutis giving rise to upright and constricted to flexuous cylindric hyphae, 3–9 µm wide, thin-walled, hyaline. Stipitipellis without caulocystidia, hyphae of stipe surface 3– 5 µm wide, hyphae appressed or somewhat recurved, smooth, thin-walled, hyaline. Clamp connections present in all tissues. TAXONOMIC NOTES: Albomagister subaustralis is the most commonly collected species of Albomagister in the southern Appalachians. It also produces the largest basidiomes among the white-colored species. Albomagister luteifolius is similar but is characterized by the smaller Inocybe geophylla- like basidiomes. Albomagister leucoloma differs from A. subaustralis by the pileus with grayish drab tints and unique phylogenetic position. DISTRIBUTION AND ECOLOGY: Albomagister subaustralis is known only from the southern Appalachians (Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee) in rich and poor (acidic) cove hardwood forests (<1000 m elev) mixed with hemlock and/or pine and also in oak-hickory-beech forests on karst topography. Potential ectomycorrhizal trees include Tsuga, Betula, Carpinus, Carya, Fagus, Quercus, Pinus, and Tilia. Reports from outside the southern Appalachians have not been confirmed with molecular annotations. Most basidiomes were observed from August to October.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
