BiostatusPresent in region - Origin uncertain
Article: Stevenson, G. (1962). The Agaricales of New Zealand: III. Kew Bulletin 16(2): 227–237.
Description: Recorded by Massee in Trans. N.Z. Inst. 3 I : 282 (1898).
Notes: These four species [placidum, lampropodum, asprellum, aethiops] have not been collected recently in New Zealand and are not represented in my herbarium. As the material on which the determinations were made over fifty years ago no longer remains at Kew, some doubt may be entertained about the records till these species are collected again.
