This belongs to the Oudemansiella 'radicata group', which has temporarily disappeared from the pick list (so I can't confirm it yet). For an explanation of the expression 'radicata group' see https://canberra.naturemapr.org/species/9503. Not mentioned there yet is that Hymenopellis is another genus into which these species have been placed.
