New Zealand: Mt. Mizery Track along Bald Hill Road in Longwood Forest between Invercargill and Te Anau, South Island, on decaying unidentified wood, Mar. 1, 1992, coll. Y. Doi TNS-F-171685 (TNS); Taupo, Kaimanawa State Forest Park, Kiko Road, North Island, on decaying unidentified wood, May 7,1987, coll. Y. Doi, TNS-F-101517 (TNS).

Basidiomata 0.7-3.0mm tall, stipitate-capitate. Capitulum 0.3-1.5mm diameter, hollow, globose to subglobose, pruinose, grayish-orange after drying. Resinous exudates on apex of hymenial cystidia were observed under the stereoscope. Stipe 0.4-2.0 X 0.06-0.08 mm, central, cylindrical, with pruinose cushion at the base. Basidiospores 3.8-5.9 X 2.3-3.4 um {x = 4.9 ± 0.5 X 2.9 ± 0.3 um; Q = 1.3-2.1; Q = 1.7 ± 0.2; n = 25), oblong to lacrymoid, smooth, hyaline, thin walled, inamyloid. Basidia 15-25 X 3.5-5.0 µm, narrowly clavate, 4-spored or rarely 2-spored; sterigmata 2.5-3.5 um long. Basidioles cylindrical to fusiform. Hymenial gloeocystidia 35-95 X 10-19 um, cylindrical to fusiform, obtuse or subcapitate, with resinous exudates adherent to the apex, projecting up to 35 um beyond hymenial cells; resinous exudates persist after drying, insoluble in Melzer's reagent, and gradually soluble in 3% KOH. Subhymenial hyphae 2-4 urn diameter, subagglutinate - to interwoven sparsely, cylindrical, hyaline, thin walled, inamyloid. Lower portion of capitulum composed of a hymeniform layer of fusiform to narrowly lageniform, sometimes rostrate cells; the cells hyaline, thin walled, inamyloid. Stipe tissue monomitic; cortical hyphae 2-4 µm diameter, parallel, cylindrical, smooth, hyaline, thin walled, inamyloid; medullary hyphae 2-6 um diameter, otherwise similar to cortical hyphae. Stipe base with scattered, curled, and thin to slightly thick walled (up to 0.8 um diameter) hyphal outgrowths up to 40 µm long and 1.5-3.0µm diameter. Caulocystidia abundant, conical to fusiform, subcapitate at the apex, with resinous exudates adherent to the apex; conical caulocystidia 17-37 X 12-23 um; fusiform caulocystidia 30-65 X 9-16 um. Clamp connections present on the hyphae in all tissues except some stipe tissues.
