Description: Pileus -25 mm, hemispherical to convex becoming obtusely campanulate, finally
centre flat to subdepressed; pale yellow to orange, distinct reddish tints absent;
dry, glabrous becoming minutely fibrillose to scurfy with age, hygrophanous,
margin striate, -Lamellae 8-12 (1-3) rather distant, broadly adnate-decurrent
to subemarginate, up to 7 mm wide; concolorous with pileus or paler, occasionally
pale yellowish to pallid, edges entire, obtuse. - Stipe 35-80 x 2-4 mm, cylindrical,
equal or subfusoid (with attenuated base); pale yellow-orange at apex, - orange
towards base; dry, glabrous, hollow, occasionally strigose at base, single or
caespitose. - Context pale orange in pileus, yellowish in stipe, waxy. - Odour
and taste not distinctive. - Chemical reactions on pileus: KOH - negative.
Spores (11-) 12-15 x 7-10 um, broadly ovoid. - Basidia 55-85 x 9-12 um, 4-spored.
- Cystidia absent. - Pileipellis a cutis or trichoderm of cylindrical, suberect
hyphae (8-14 um diam.), membrane not gelatinised, with yellow (KOH) encrusting
and plasmatic pigment; clamp connections present (Pl. 1, Fig. 1).
Habitat: ECOLOGY: Common; saprobic on soil among litter under Nothofagus (N. fusca,
N. menziesii), Leptospermum (L. scoparium, with Sphagnum) and in
