Description: 'Pileus 30-35 mm, olive green, hemispherical, some with a broad umbilicus, flocculose; flesh olive green, continuous with that of hollow stipe, ventral plug differing in texture. Gills adnate, mauve tinged on-olive green, deep, distant. Stipe 50 x 5 mm, olive green with mauve tinge at base, waxy, smooth with fine striations, hollow, somewhat tough'.
Spores 9-10 x 4-4.5 µm, ellipsoid to cylindrical, sometimes slightly constricted, smooth, inamyloid. Basidia 45-55 x 6-7 µm, 4-spored. Cystidia absent. Cuticle a cutis consisting of repent, hyaline, not gelatinized hyphae (4-10 µm diam.). Clamp connections present.
Habitat: Under broadleaf forest. New Zealand.
Notes: This very distinct fungus is characterized by its olive green colours in all parts of the fruitingbody. No other close relatives are known from New Zealand or elsewhere.
