The jpeg was preferentially IDed as S. fragilis: Mudd's origional ID was S. herbacea, now subsumed by S. europaea. From the details visible in the photo this seems at least as good as S. fragilis as collected outside expected geographicl distribution detailed in CTW for both. Can anyone spot a casting feature for or against S. europea or fragilis?
