Description: Pileus 1-2 cm. diam., salmon pink, hemispherical, dry, smooth, finely fibrillose;
flesh pink-tinged, continuous with stipe. Gills decurrent, tinged pink, rather
thick, moderately distant. Stipe 3-4 cm. X 3-4 mm., White, solid, smooth, silky.
Spores 6-7 X 5-6 µm., pyriform, hyaline, walls slightly thickened Basidia 60
X 6 µm., four-spored.
Habitat: habitat: mossy banks under .Nothofagus forest, Muritai,

Description: 'Pileus 10-20 mm diam., salmon pink, hemispherical, dry, smooth, finally fibrillose; flesh pink-tinged, continuous with stipe. Gills decurrent, tinged pink, rather thick, moderately distant. Stipe 30-40 x 3-4 mm, white, solid, smooth, silky'.
Spores 6.5-8 x 4.5-5.5 µm, ovoid to subglobose, smooth, inamyloid. Basidia 45-55 x 6 µm, 4-spored. Cystidia absent. Gill trama of interwoven hyphae. Cuticle a cutis consisting of repent, densely woven, not gelatinized hyphae (4-8 µm diam.). Clamp connections numerous.
Habitat: On mossy banks under Nothofagus. New Zealand.
Notes: In dried condition the carpophores of C. muritaensis (Stev.) resemble very much C. virgineus (Fr.) but fresh fruiting bodies are distinguished at once by the salmon pink coloured pileus and lamellae.
