Description: Lentinellus cremeus Stevenson (29 D) Fig. 5 = Pleurocollybia cremea
(Stevenson) comb. nov. (Basionym: L. cremeus Stevenson, Kew Bull. 19: 21,
1964)
It is difficult to comprehend why Stevenson placed this fungus, which is common
in the New Zealand bush, in Lentinellus. All characters indicate an obvious
relationship with Pleurocollybia, a genus not previously known from New
Zealand. Spores roundish, hyaline, weakly amyloid, smooth, 2.5-3 X 2.5 µ.
Article: Stevenson, G. (1964). The Agaricales of New Zealand: V. Kew Bulletin 19(1): 1-59.
Description: Pileus 1.5-3.5 cm diam., creamy white to deep cream, orbicular to reniform, convex becoming depressed, margin down-rolled, matt to almost velvety; flesh white, firm, continuous with that of stipe. Gills adnexed to sinuate, creamy white, thin, crowded, margins lacerate. Stipe 1-2 x 0.2-0.3 cm, excentric to lateral, creamy, fibrillose to velutinate, tapered downwards, swollen at base, tough, solid. Spores 3.5 x 2.5 µm, faintly amyloid (Fig. 42). Hymenophoral trama of broad hyphae, some 10 µm diam., thin-walled. Cuticle of closely woven thin-walled hyphae, 2-3 µm diam.
Habitat: On fallen wood, Tararuas, Levin, 18.6.1949) Stevenson (type).
