Article: Horak, E. (1973). Fungi Agaricini Novazelandiae I-V. Beihefte zur Nova Hedwigia 43: 200 p.
Description: Pileus 20-35 mm diam., persistently conical, always with sharp papilla, dark brown, fading to beige, conspicuously zonate, lighter and darker zones alternating, strongly fibrillose, dry, hygrophanous, estriate. Lamellae free or adnexed, at first dark beige turning pink-brown, gill edge concolorous, even or scalloped, densely crowded. Stipe 50-75 x 2-4 mm, cylindrical, concolorous or lighter than the pileus, strongly fibrillose, dry, hollow, very brittle. Odor and taste not distinctive.
Spores 9.5-11 x 7-8 µm, 6-angled. Basidia 35-45 x 12-13µm, 4-spored. Cystidia none. Cuticle a cutis of repent or suberect, short cylindrical hyphae (6-20 µm diam.), membrane thin-walled, hyaline, with brown plasmatic or vacuolar pigment. Clamp connections absent.
Habitat: Between grasses in riverbeds, paddocks, etc. New Zealand.
Notes: This species is characterised by its conical pileus and the conspicuous concentric zones which remain also visible in dried material.

Article: Horak, E. (1973). Fungi Agaricini Novazelandiae I-V. Beihefte zur Nova Hedwigia 43: 200 p.
Description: Pileus 25-60 mm diam., at first conical becoming convexo-umbonate or papillate, dark brown, drying light brown with reddish tints, at centre squamulose, towards the margin velvety or fibrillose, strongly striate, dry, hygrophanous. Lamellae (L -30, 1 3), free, ventricose beige when young turning pinkish-brown, gill edge concolorous. Stipe 40-80 x 2-6 mm, cylindrical or attenuated upwards, coloured like pileus or paler, densely covered especially near the base) with white fibrils, dry, fistulose, very brittle. Context dark brown, watery. Odor and taste not distinctive.
Spores 9.5-12 x 6.5-8 µm, 5-6-angled. Basidia 35-45 x 10-13 µm, 4-spored. Cystidia none. Cuticle a cutis or trichoderm of repent or semierect short cylindrical hyphae (6-20 µm diam.), cells of subcutis inflated, membrane thin-walled, not gelatinized, with brown, plasmatic pigment. Clamp connections absent.
Habitat: On soil in forests (under Nothofagus spp., Leptospermum spp., different Podocarpaceae). New Zealand.
Notes: This species is related, through its general shape and colours, to E. porphyrescens Hk. but differs in microscopical characters. The extremely striate pileus and the brittle consistence of the carpophores are further typical features characterising E. translucidum.

Article: Horak, E. (1973). Fungi Agaricini Novazelandiae I-V. Beihefte zur Nova Hedwigia 43: 200 p.
Description: Pileus 20-45 mm diam., campanulate or broadly umbonate, dark brown to date brown, fading to grey-beige, finely wrinkled at the centre, more or less fibrillose towards the substriate margin, dry. Lamellae free, beige at first turning brownish-pink, gill edge white, scalloped, densely crowded. Stipe 30-45 x 2-7 mm, subclavate, attenuated upwards, robust, concolorous with pileus or lighter, densely covered by white fibrils, fistulose, dry. Context brownish, watery. Odor and taste not distinctive.
Spores 9-10.5 x 6.5-8.5 µm, 5-angled. Basidia 32-38 x 12 µm, 4-spored. Cystidia lacking. Cuticle a palisade or trichoderm of erect to suberect; short cylindrical hyphae (12-20 µm diam.), membrane thin-walled not gelatinized, with brown, plasmatic pigment. Clamp connections absent.
Habitat: On soil in forests (under Nothofagus spp.). New Zealand.
