Notes: Crinipellis novae-zelandiae Stevenson (29 D) Fig. 18 = Collybia novae-zelandiae (Stevenson)

After careful study of the type material it is evident that this peculiar agaric is
not correctly placed in Crinipellis. Although we twice collected this species, it is
with some hesitation that we transfer this striking fungus to Collybia, and we
anticipate that further changes will be made to its generic position.

Description: Pileus 4-7.5 cm diam., fuscous to dark reddish fuscous, plano-convex with down-rolled margin, with or without a central umbo, finely fibrillose with a broken line of long pale coloured fibrils near the margin; flesh vinaceous fawn, tough. Gills sinuately adnexed, pale vinaceous fawn, thin, rather crowded, margins minutely serrulate. Stipe 4 x 0.5 cm, vinaceous fawn covered thickly, except immediately below gills, with fuscous to reddish fuscous, fibrillose scales. Spores 5-6 x 3 µm, non-amyloid, hyaline; print white. Gill margins sterile with balloon cystidia or woven hyphae. Cuticle and stipe fibrils of pseudo-amyloid hyphae, 5-8 µm diam., with clamp connections, some with irregularly thickened walls (Fig. 2/35, P-37).
