Notes:

Pileipellis: ixotrichoderm; Gill trama: long parallel cells; basidia 2-spored; spores: 12-15/8-9.5µm ellipsoid to tear drop-shaped in gill prep, 18-23/10-12µm, ellipsoid-fusiform from spore print in fridge.

Although the pileipellis suggests H. chlorophana, the balance of characters and large spores supports H. persistens persistens.
