Description: Pileus 15-40 mm diam., hemispherical, convex,
becoming umbonate-expanded to campanulate; pale brown, brown to umber, in young
carpophores margin densely covered with white fibrillose remnants of the veil;
dry, squamulose to scaly, occasionally innate-fibrillose towards estriate splitting
margin, ageing fibrils of the veil disappearing. Lamellae adnexed to adnate,
ventricose, crowded (L-18, 1-3); whitish, grey, argillaceous, turning brownish
with olive tinge, edge concolorous or albofimbriate. Stipe 20-60 x 2-4 mm, cylindrical,
equal or slightly swollen at base; reddish brownish, ochraceous at base; dry,
apex pubescent, below the evanescent fibrillose cortina densely covered with
sub persistent, conspicuous, white fibrils of the veil; solid, single and cespitose.
Context red-brown in stipe, paler to whitish in pileus. Odour and taste not
distinctive. Chemical reactions on pileus: KOH-negative.
Spore print brown. Spores 8-11 x 4.5-5.5µm,
almond-shaped to sublimoniform, brown, smooth, spore absent. Basidia 22-30 x
7-8 µm, 4-spored. Cheilocystidia 40-80 x 10-18 µm, fusoid, metuloid (-4 µm diam.),
hyaline, encrusted with crystals. Pleurocystidia like cheilocystidia but less
thick-walled. Caulocystidia -110 x –18 µm, subfusoid to cylindrical, metuloid,
occasionally encrusted. Cuticle a trichoderm of cylindrical, not gelatinised
hyphae (5-10 µm diam.), encrusted with brownish pigment. Clamp connections numerous.
Habitat: On soil among litter and moss under Nothofagus
(N. fusca, N. menziesii, N. cliffortioides). New Zealand.
Notes: Macroscopically this fungus is characterised
best by the dense coat of white, woolly fibrils, which cover the pale red-brown
stipe from the rather dehiscent cortina to the base. In young specimens the
margin of the pileus is covered with remnants of the white, fibrillose veil.
