Article: Horak, E. (1973). Fungi Agaricini Novazelandiae I-V. Beihefte zur Nova Hedwigia 43: 200 p.
Description: Pileus 2-5 mm diam., minute,
hemispherical to convex, fragile, estriate, dry, brownish to beige, densely
covered with white or concolorous fibrillose squamules. Lamellae (L 1-3, l
0) broadly adnexed, distant, brownish with concolorous, flocculose gill edge.
Stipe -4 x -1 mm, cylindric, densely covered with brownish or white fibrils,
dry, fragile. Context very brittle, greyish. Odor and taste none.
Spores
16-20 x 10-12 µm, tuberculate-angular, 6-9-angled. Basidia 32-44 x 15-18 µm,
4-spored. Cheilocystidia none, but the gill edge may be covered with thin-walled
hyphae (see cuticle). Cuticle a trichoderm consisting of cylindrical, thick-walled,
strongly pigmented hyphae, membrane brown, not gelatinized. Clamp connections
absent.
Habitat: On
soil in forests (Podocarpus dacrydioides, Elaeocarpus hookerianus, Melicytus
ramiflorus, etc.). New Zealand.
Notes: This
species fits easily into the genus Pouzaromyces Pilat which is characterized
by large, many-angled spores and hair-like, thick-walled hyphae on pileus, gill
edges and stipe. P. minutus differs from all other known species of that
genus by its small dimensions of the fruiting bodies, morphology of the cuticular
hyphae and colours.
