Article: Horak, E. (1973). Fungi Agaricini Novazelandiae I-V. Beihefte zur Nova Hedwigia 43: 200 p. Description: Pileus 10-25 mm diam., convex or umbonate,
but umbo always indistinct, margin incurved in young carpophores, dry, radially
fibrillose, strongly striate, hygrophanous, dark brown. Lamellae (L 10-14, l
3-7) broadly adnate or uncinate; dark beige, finally pink, gill edge concolorous,
sometimes wavy. Stipe -20 x -1.5 mm, frequently excentrically inserted, cylindrical,
swollen at the base, curved, glabrous or slightly fibrillose, fistulose, solitary.
Context brownish, thin. Odor and taste farinaceous.
Spores
8.5-10 x 6-8 µm, 5-angled, but also 4-sided. Basidia 30-35 x 10-11 µm, 4-spored.
Cheilocystidia 35-50 x 8-10 µm, irregularly fusoid or clavate, thinwalled, without
pigment. Pleurocystidia none. Cuticle a cutis of repent, cylindrical hyphae
(10-15 µm diam.), membrane thin-walled, encrusted by brown pigment. Clamp connections
absent. Habitat: On
rotten tree-fern (Dicksonia fibrosa). New Zealand. Notes: The
closest affinity is with E. sordidulum Hk., which differs however, in
its smaller pileus and concave pileus, lack of cheilocystidia and more distinctive,
4-sided spores.
