Article: Horak, E. (1973). Fungi Agaricini Novazelandiae I-V. Beihefte zur Nova Hedwigia 43: 200 p. Description: 'Pileus
30-55 mm diam., hemispherical or broadly conical at first, then becoming plane,
deep olivaceous, waxy, moist, drying subfibrillose. Gills adnate, moderately
distant, long and short intercalated, creamy becoming pink. Stipe 50-70 x 7,.5-10
mm, creamy to light fawn, silky striate, hollow, rather brittle. Context thin,
whitish to olive brown'.
Spores
7.5-11 x 7-8.5 µm, 5-6-sided. Basidia 30-40 x 12 µm 4-spored. Cystidia none.
Cuticle a cutis of repent, cylindrical hyphae (7-14 µm diam.), membrane hyaline,
not gelatinized, with yellow (in KOH) plasmatic and epimembranous pigment, lactifers
present. Clamp connections abundant. Habitat: On
Soil. New Zealand. Notes: The above description of microscopic characters is based on a study of the type material. Further collections are required to settle the taxonomic position of this species which belongs probably to the introduced fungi.
