 Crinipellis micropilus
SynonymsMarasmius micropilus
BiostatusPresent in region - Indigenous. Non endemic
Article: Stevenson, G. (1964). The Agaricales of New Zealand: V. Kew Bulletin 19(1): 1-59.
Notes: The writer has no collections to match the description of this fungus, which is assumed to belong to Crinipellis and to be close to C. procera. A letter from the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna, dated 7th March 1962, reported that the type could not be traced. The details published are: -
Pileus 10-12 mm diam., brown to pale brown, glabrous, fluted and sulcate with 16-20 grooves. Stipe 10-12 cm x 1-2 mm, blackish brown, covered with sparse short hairs. Spores 12 x 6 µm. Collected at Drury, Auckland, by Hochstetter.
The illustrations show hairs on the stipe but none on the pileus. New collections from the type locality should be sought.

Notes: Stevenson may well have been right in placing this species in Crinipellis, but a
final decision cannot be made without type material or new collections from the
neighbourhood of the type locality (Auckland).
