Article: Horak, E. (1990). Monograph of the New Zealand Hygrophoraceae (Agaricales). New Zealand Journal of Botany 28(3): 255-306 (http://www.rsnz.org/publish/abstracts.php).
Notes: Cleland's  illustration does not correspond with the figures published by Stevenson. Hence the New Zealand record of C. brunneus remains doubtful. The smooth, inamyloid spores observed on the type material are conspicuously drop-shaped to subcommaform,7-9 x 4-4.5 um.
