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: Caespitose ; pileus convex, depressed and umbilicate, even, glabrous, yellowish-rusty, 1-1.5
cm. broad; flesh thin, whitish; gills adnate, rather distant, broad, margin entire, yellowish
rust-colour; spores elliptical, 10 x 6 µ; stem 2.5-5 cm. long, 2 mm. thick, slightly curved near
the base, glabrous, coloured like the pileus, fistulose.
Habitat: On trunks and stumps.
Distribution: Dannevirke, New Zealand. Australia.
Notes: Readily recognised by the caespitose or tufted habit of growth, and in growing on stumps.
Both these characters are unusual in the genus Naucoria.
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. 10 The microscopical characters of this collection (COLENSO b 500) in
some respects resemble those of Hypholoma acutum (Cooke) Horak, but the
material is not sufficiently well preserved to allow positive identification. It
should be mentioned that the type of N. fraterna comes from Australia. The
species was transferred to Laccaria by Pegler (1965).
