Wow, I never knew about that species. How fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
Though some part of me was hoping I had discovered some rare intergeneric cross 😂.

If that's possible, then it still is. I'm not sure about the ID, just a suggestion to compare. Where was it spotted?

It really does looks like C. caudatus. Though I've also seen some lovely butter yellow C. sulphureus. I might have a picture

Found it! I thought was sulphureus but could also be caudatus 🤔. Oh I forgot to mention I saw them in Thailand, I'm astounded by how easily everything grows there .

I really liked the pale yellow with pink, I don't think I've seen any like it in Canada
