Description: Pileus convex, then obtuse, not umbilicate, rusty-red, densely clothed with fasciculate tufts of
down resembling minute scales, 1-2 cm broad; gills adnate, broad, rather distant, coloured
like the pileus, margin flocculose; spores 7-8 x 5-6 µ; stem about 2.5 cm. long, slender,
equal, squamulose up to the ring, apex glabrous, coloured like the pileus.
Habitat: On the ground, twigs, &c.
Distribution: New Zealand. Australia, Europe.
Notes: Distinguished by the squamulose stem and pileus. Naucoria crinacea, a species not recorded

squamulose nearly or quite up to the apex, and the margin of the gills quite entire.
