Veiled Poisonpie (Hebeloma mesophaeum) new to Dalgety Bay

 "Dark-centred" in the Latin name is a good clue to this species ID. Likes Pine and Birch. In the brownfield area of Dalgety Bay this is exactly the combination and the only place I've ever seen it (anywhere). Does it require both host plants? That would definitely explain why I haven't seen it with Birches before in the absence of Pine.

After an update with lots of missing fungi (recorded on iRecord but not included in the list) this is now species #2643.
