Article: Massee, G.E. (1899) [1898]. The fungus flora of New Zealand. Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute 31: 282–349 Wellington:.
Description: Closely imbricated or overlapping. Pilei reniform, convex, at first innato-tomentose, the
cuticle cracking up into shortly refiexed scales, at length quite smooth; margin slightly
involute ; stems connate, scarcely visible except in young pilei ; gills rather distant, decurrent,
broad, wavy when dry, margin quite entire; spores hyaline, oblong, about 8 µ.
Habitat: On dead trunks.
Distribution: Northern Island, New Zealand.
Notes: The scales arise from the cracking of the cuticle, in consequence of which a slight portion is
reflected in front, while that behind is not at all disturbed. Ample. (Berk.)
