Notes: Leucopaxillus otagoensis Stevenson (29 D) Fig. 20 = Clitocybe clitocyboides
(Cooke and Massee) Pegler, 1965
It is difficult to see why this fungus was originally described in Leucopaxillus for
apart from the decurrent gills, it has nothing in common with that genus. C.
clitocyboides closely resembles C. hydrogramma (Fries) Singer even to the
distinct chlamydospores embedded between hyphae of the cuticle. All characters
of the N.Z. species correspond well with those of the type from Australia.
