User's notes

While the suggested name is the one that is found in guide books, there seems to be a lot of species listed on Species Fungorum and Mycobank for the genus Leotia. I don't have the literature or presumably the molecular diagnostic tools to determine if what I've suggested is correct. Perhaps Leotia lubrica s.l. or Leotia is more appropriate? Anyway a fairly common species in our wetter forest types.
