We have two species of Laccaria  in the Hawaiian Islands:  L. laccata  var.
pallidifolia , illustrated here, ectotrophically associated with various species of pines
in conifer plantations throughout the Islands; and L. fraterna  (Sacc.) Pegler, a smaller,
two-spored species associated with Eucalyptus .  In several pine plantations, the only
ectotrophic epigeous agaric we have encountered is L. laccata  var. pallidifolia.
