Article: Horak, E. (1976) [1975]. On cuboid-spored species of Entoloma (Agaricales). Sydowia 28: 171-236.
Description: Pileus 20-40 mm diam., up to 40 mm high, conical, papilla always sharply conical, margin not
inrolled; mouse grey, drying paler, apex yellowish in aged specimens; innately fibrillose, not striate,
dry. Lamellae free or adnexed, ventricose; grey when young then turning pink, edge concolorous,
even. Stipe 40-80/4-7 mm (-12 mm at the base), cylindrical or attenuated towards the apex, twisted;
mouse grey, paler towards the whitish villous base; hollow, brittle, dry, single. Context grey, without
bluish or greenish tints. Odour and taste unknown. Spore print brick red. Spores 7,5-11 mµ, cuboid. Basidia 40-50/10-12 mµ, 4-spored. Cheilocystidia
(and pleurocystidia) 45-80/10-13-mµ, fusoid, several times constricted (like an hour glass) towards
the conical apex, hyaline, thin-walled, without pigment. Cuticle a cutis composed of cylindrical
repent hyphae (6-12 mµ, diam.), plasmatic pigment present. Clamp connections numerous.
Habitat: Habitat: On soil under Leptospermum ericoides. New Zealand.
Notes: According to the microscopical and macroscopical characters this species is closely related with E.
virescens (B. & C.). The young and fresh fruitingbodies of E. canoconicum, however, do not
even show traces of bluish or greenish colours. The cystidia of that taxon are also quite different
from those of E. virescens (B. & C.). For that reason it is unlikely that E. canoconicum could be interpreted as a pale and washed out E. virescens (B. & C.).
