Description: Pileus
10-30 mm diam., hemispherical at first, becoming convex and later
plane
and subumbilicate, brown to beige, aged carpophores often fading, velvety or
covered by small squamules, especially at the centre, with conspicuous darker
striae, hygrophanous, dry. Lamellae (L 10-16, 1 3), broadly adnexed to subdecurrent,
grey or beige brown turning pink, with white, fimbriate gill edge. Stipe 20-50
x 1-3(5) mm, cylindrical, sometimes swollen at the base, grey or light brown,
conspicuously pruinose above, white at the base, occasionally with rhizoids,
dry, fistulose. Context brownish. Taste and odor none or slightly farinaceous.
Spores
9-11 x 7-8.5 µm, 5-6-angled. Basidia 30-45 x 8-10 µm, 4-spored. Cheilocystidia
35-100 x 10-22 µm, ventricose with long, subcapitate neck, or lageniform, hyaline,
membrane thin-walled. Caulocystidia like cheilocystidia. Pleurocystidia absent.
Cuticle a cutis of repent or suberect, cylindrical hyphae (10-20 µm diam.),
membrane not gelatinized, thin-walled, with brown, plasmatic pigment. Clamp
connections absent.
Habitat: On
soil in forests (under Dacrydium cupressinum, Beilschmiedia tawa, Weinmannia
racemosa, Quintinia spp., etc.). New Zealand.
Notes: Our
two collections agree in general appearance and in the microscopical characters
with the type material of E. mariae. This species is defined by the pruinose
stipe, dull brown colours and the fusoid-subcapitate cheilocystidia.

Description: Pileus 1.5-2.5 cm., chestnut-brown, hemispherical and strongly umbilicate, silky-striate largely covered with fine velvety scales. Gills adnexed, deep, moderately crowded, pink. Stipe 4-5 cm. x 2-5 mm., dull fawn, white at base, slender, silky, hollow. Spores angled, 10 x 6um.
Habitat: rooting in soil under scrub. Muritai, 29.3.1958, Marie Taylor.
Notes: This is close to A. (Leptonia) gnophodes Berk. and Br., 'Fungi of Ceylon', 1871, but the type specimen, which has been examined at Kew, shows the stipe attenuated downwards, decurrent gills, and spores 10 x 8um, consistently broader than those of this species and rather more angular.
