   Slimy or viscid? That is in some way equal for me.   
   Courtecuisse say that H. lindtneri and carpini have a viscid stipe and   
   leucophaeus has a dry stipe. In my Croatian book leucophaeus is   
   described as species with viscid cap and stipe. My species that I   
   found with hornbeam have a viscid cap and stipe. So, they could be   
   lindtneri=carpini or leucophaeus, or maybe they are all the same   
   species.   
      
   Once I found small wax cap that could be H. mesotephrus. Cap was   
   greyish black, especially at the centre, very slimy, tall and growing   
   with beech.
