Description: As in the type variety but spores globose,
subglobose, or occasionally broadly elliptical, moderately echinulate, 8.5-10.5
µm diam. including spines, spines 1.2-1.5 µm long.
Habitat: Densely gregarious to caespitose under Nothofagus.
Notes: Apart from a tendency towards shorter stipes,
var. brevispinosa is macroscopically indistinguishable from the type
variety. However, spores of var, brevispinosa are smaller with considerably
shorter spines. Both varieties occur in similar habitats.
