New record for New England, that's great!

Rhizophagus cylindricus
A surprise. New record for New England to the best of my knowledge. Keys right out in Yves Bousquet's key, and compares well with identified specimens we have from Oklahoma.

Save
for me please. It may be just a recently emerged/teneral member of species alrealy in bugguide, but I won't try to resolve this until I have it in hand.

It sure does
And it looks like a new species for the guide if it gets identified further. Thanks Jim.
