Gills adnate to sinuate, pale grey with white bloom, moderately distant, moderately thick. Stipe 2-4 cm x 1-3 mm, ochraceous fawn darker at base smooth, silky, hollow, brittle, often grooved. Spores 11-15 x 7-8 µm, non-amyloid or very weakly amyloid, strongly granular appearance, slightly thickened wall. Basidia with granulation. Cheilo- and. pleurocystidia with or without granulation (Fig. 38). Hymenophoral trama strongly, to-pseudo-amyloid. Cuticle pseudo-amyloid, cellular. Smell noticeable, unpleasant.
Habitat: In 'fairy-rings' in newly made lawn, Karori, Wellington, 12.6.1949, Stevenson (type).
Article: Horak, E. (1971). A contribution towards the revision of the Agaricales (Fungi) from New Zealand. New Zealand Journal of Botany 9(3): 403-462 (http://www.rsnz.org/publish/abstracts.php).
Notes: Fig. 12 After studying the type material we found no evidence why this fungus
should be placed in Fayodia and suggest that this species should be transferred to
Mycena. It is very likely that this agaric is an introduced species since it grew in
"fairy-rings" in a newly made lawn near Wellington.
