Article: Stevenson, G. (1964). The Agaricales of New Zealand: V. Kew Bulletin 19(1): 1-59.
Description: Pileus 4-8 cm diam., plane with edge down-rolled, velvety fibrillose; flesh thin, pinkish. Gills adnate, white to pink tinted, thin, crowded, some forking, margins serrulate. Stipe 1-5 cm x 1.5-3 mm, whitish, excentric to almost lateral, tough, some with rhizomorphs attached. Spores 7 x 4-4.5 µm, non-amyloid, thin-walled (Fig. 10). Hymenophoral trama subregularis. Cuticle of moderately loosely woven hyphae.
Habitat: On fallen rotting wood, Ohau River, Levin, 25.5.1952, Stevenson (type).

Habitat: On fallen rotting wood. New Zealand.
Notes: The two laterally stipitate or eccentric New Zealand species of Rhodocybe are readily distinguished by the shape and colour of the pileus and the presence or absence of pseudocystidia and clamp connections on cuticular hyphae. For more information about R. albovelutina see Horak (1971 a, p.407).

Notes: Fig. 2 = Rhodocybe albovelutina (Stevenson) comb. nov. (Basionym: L. albovelutinus
Stevenson, Kew Bull. 19: 32, 1964)
There is no doubt that this species with pinkish, angular spores, 5.5-7 X 3.5-5 µ, has to be
transferred to Rhodocybe.
