Article: Horak, E. (1976) [1975]. On cuboid-spored species of Entoloma (Agaricales). Sydowia 28: 171-236.
Description: Pileus up to 35 mm diam. convex or indistinctly campanulate, without conspicuous umbo
or papilla, old carpophores plane; cinnamon brown to brick red with radial buff to rosy
buff streaks; dry glabrous to slightly fibrillose or hairy, striate hygrophanous. Lamellae
free to adnexed ventricose ((-5 mm wide), distant; cinnamon when young turning brick
red. Stipe 50-90/3-4 mm cylindrical or attenuated towards the apex, rosy red with touches
of brick red, base white; fibrillose dry hollow fragile single. Context pale brownish to
brick red. Odour and taste not distinctive. Chemical reactions unknown.
Spores 7-11 mµ, cuboid. Basidia 45-50/14-16 mµ, 4-spored. Cheilocystidia 50-70/8-12 mµ, fusoid
with capitate apex sometimes several constrictions near the neck, membrane hyaline thin-walled,
pigment absent. Cuticle a cutis of repent cylindrical hyphae (4-8 mµ diam.) plasmatic pigment
present, membranes notgelatinized. Clamp connections numerous.
Habitat: Habitat: On rotten wood of Agathis australis. New Zealand.
Notes: Like the Malayan E. aurantio-album C. & Hg. this species also grows on rotten wood.
The two taxa, however, are distinguished by the colours, the shape of the cystidia and the
size of the spores.
