Notes: This species is recorded in both Colenso (1890), and Massee (1898).
A. temulenta is sporadically recorded in Europe in grassy places, often in previously disturbed areas and one of us (RW) has seen a recent collection from North America (New York State). It is easily recognised when young by the uniformly bright ochraceous yellow pileus and stipe, which fade and become flushed with saffron, and the stuffed stipe with tough cortex. The basidiospores, (10.5-)11-13(-14.5) x (6.5-)7.5-8.5(-9) µm, are ellipsoid and basidia 2-or 4-spored.
