Notes: Panellus metuloideus Stevenson (29 D) Fig. 16 = Hohenbuehelia
metuloidea (Stevenson) comb. nov. (Basionym: P. metuloideus Stevenson,
Kew Bull. 19: 27, 1964)
A glance at the illustrations shows that this species clearly has to be transferred
to Hohenbuehelia.
Article: Stevenson, G. (1964). The Agaricales of New Zealand: V. Kew Bulletin 19(1): 1-59.
Description: Pileus 3 x 2.5 cm., fuscous, moist, smooth, spathulate with down-rolled margin. Gills decurrent, creamy, shallow, moderately crowded with some forking, margins becoming serrulate. Stipe 3 x 4 mm, brown above, cream below. Spores 7-8 x 4-4.5 µm amyloid, thin-walled (Fig. 55). Metuloids 70 x 20 µm, pseudo-amyloid, with or without encrusting crystals, thick-walled, very abundant on gill-faces.
Habitat: On fallen wood in Beilschmiedia tawa forest, Keith George Park, Wellington, 31.3.1949) Stevenson (type).
Notes: The cylindric amyloid spores of this fungus point to the genus Panellus where it is treated, but the very abundant pseudo-amyloid metuloids also relate it to the genus Hohenbuehelia.
