[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Stromata crust-like, no obvious mycelium on surface of leaf, stroma probably covered with numerous ascomata, but forming a more or less continuous sheet, so individual fruiting bodies not obvious.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Collection comprises a single leaf, with a few, apparently immature fruiting bodies. Described from leaves of Metrosideros diffusa.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Fungus appears to develop very nondescript dark staining on the surface of the substrate, although there are a few perithecia associated with some of the specimen. Appears to perithecia associated with more than one species.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] note in the packet at K that half of one of the fruiting bodies in the type collection was returned - is this in our Stevenson collections? GS 81/78

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Kew have other Stevenson collections, GS 891, GS 853, GS 1114
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Several packets with different collections identified by Cooke as Berggrenia aurantiaca and Berggrenia aurantiaca f. cyclospora. Korf examined this material in 1951, but did he publish on it?? Two Berggren collections with spores matching Berggrenia, plus a recent Stevenson collection. All from the Wellington area - this should be added to the thraatened fungi list. Checked Steven 80/152, drawing of hypogeous fungus but with pale base and orange top, almost a stalk-like base; spores oval, thick walled, smooth. Type (Berggren 68) apothecium looks like it was highly convoluted, clearly with fine, brain-like patterning on outside of the ascoma. Colenso b1231 (var cyclospora) looks just like Paurocotylis in shape and internal texture (whitem fine, stringy), and in the smooth outer surface.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Kew packet has two Colenso collections, b396 and b324. Both were originally anotated on the sheets as "Chrysosplenium omnivirens B", these names edited in red pen (perhaps by Massee) to "Chlorosplenium flavovirens Massee". The sheet has been annotated by Dennis "unpublished?". Dennis (1961) considers the Massee name to be unpublished, and considers the Massee collections to be the same species as Chlorosplenium fuegianum Speg. Dennis transfers the species to Helotium, as Helotium magellanicum nom. nov. (non Helotium fuegianum Speg.). Colenso b324 looks like the same fungus, but apothecia less mature, cup not really opened up as yet. Dixon (1974) considers this specimen to represent an undescribed Cyathicula species (photo of his annotation). Macroscopically the fungus looks like Cyathicula, and Dennis's illustration of the excipulum supports this. Macoscopically the dry discs are dull slightly greenish grey in colour, sides of receptacle near edge of disc with shallow furrows, broad stipitate, shallow cupulate. BAFC2036, Chlorosplenium fuegianum ex Argentina is in the same packet: edge of cup not toothed (cf Dixon's notes; and Gamundi's descriptions and notes, Darwiniana 12, 1962, don't support Dixon's comments); receptacle not ridged as in the Colenso specimen, surface slightly hairy n(2 only apothecia).

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Several Australian collections in Kew, some doubtful (one looks like a Basidio), but at least one a nice and macroscopically typical collection. Type material in Kew scanty and in poor condition.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Type material in Kew scanty, in poor condition
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Duplicate from PDD 19344 and PDD 98182, as well as type specimen (PDD 18985) Short-stipitate discs densely covered with pale orange brown hairs, these often matted and irregularly bunched together
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Kew images.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Surely this is the thing that is erumpent from bark and wood, sessile, with somewhat split margin, that I sometimes field label as ?lichen?? At a glance macroscopically it has that kind of look about it. Most of the collection is mouldy, but there are a few apothecia in a separate small envelope that are in better condition, and these certainly have the right look about them.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Packet annotated as Erinella hyalopoda C & M, an orthographic variant according to NZFungi. Has a Crocicreas-like look about it. Discs tapering gradually to narrow and quite long stipe, translucent pale yellow-brown, with fine, white hair-like elements when fresh, but these often becoming rubbed off. Tried making a slide but material in poor condition and could not see excipular structure clearly, though could have been Crocicreas-like.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] additional specimens in Kew, duplicates from PDD 19412, 45502
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] In K, filed as Bisporella Dennis' description recalls a sessile Crocicreas, clearly illustrating excipular elements arranged more or less in parallel. Type looks like it might have been substipitate. A second specimen cited by Dennis, Sinclair No. 8. is not in great condition In (macroscopically appears mouldy) but clearly stipitate and looks macroscopically just like B. citrina. Squash mount shows excip to be Crocicreas, parallel rows of hyphae in gel matrix - what appear to be mould on outside of disc are in fact a layer of crystals.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Filed in K under Bisporella citrina Specimens cited under this name by Cooke (1879) "Banks' Peninsula (329), Waitaki (287, 304, 298, 292, 38)." Of these, only Waitaki 304 is in K. Note that several of the H. citrinum specimens are in the same packet at K (Winton 122, Dunedin 202, Waitaki 30 bis). Another specimen in K (Dunedin 220b) was originally identified as Helotium pallescens Fr., but this has been redetemined by someone as H. citrinum, and the pallescens name has never appeared in the NZ literture.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Not much material, a half a leaf with maybe up to 20 scatererd discs. Discs pale yellowish, small, sessile to substipitate, have a gelatinous, Crocicreas-like look about them.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Apothecia dry, hym deep orange-brown,
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Kew images.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Other collections in the Kew packet include a specimen from Ann Bell on Nothofagus menziesii leaves (a single apothecium); Horak 67/121 Helotium near metrosideri on Elaeocarpus hookerianus leaves; duplicated from PDD 19379. Images of the Horak Specimen. Apothecia with look of Lanzia 'aureus', assoc with extensive blackened patches on the fallen leaves;
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Macroscopically distinctive species, but cannot recall seeing it. On hard, decorticated wood. When dry. Pale, almost translucent yellow receptacle, stipe long, narrow, black; blackened tissue sometimes evident on host surface surrounding the stipe. On hard, decorticated wood. A couple of Australian collections, macroscopically the same as the type, narrow, long, black stipe and pale yellow receptacle. Photo's of one of these.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Kew images.
Specimens are somewhat variable in apothecial size, length of stipe, shape of ascospore (some tapering more markedly to base, some with obvious apical caps or frills, others without these), but this variation seen also withon collections, and perhaps within apothecia. Common on Phormium.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] On bark amongst sooty moulds. There are other collections in PDD given this name, need to check them. Type with translucent brown apothecia with long, thin stipes, looks a bit like a Crocicreas. – but no mention of gelatinous tissue in description. Small apothecia barely visible in the photos
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Kew images.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Type material at Kew with very few apothecia. Receptacle translucent ornage brown, glabrous; stipe quite long and broad, cylindric, lower part of stipe with dense weft of fine, white mycelium. Does not seem right for Rutstroemiaceae - No sign of any stromatic development on these leaves, and leaves partly decomposed.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Two packets in the type folder, with exactly the same collecting data on the K labels. However, inside one of the packets is a Greta Stevenson collection label with GS 210 as the original collecting number, the 210 changed to 211 at some later stage. This packet has lots of wood, some with what appear to be coriticiod fruiting bodies, but no obvious Hohenbuehelia fruiting bodies. The other packet, with an unchanged Stevenson collecting number 211, has a few Hohenbuehelia fruiting bodies.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Other Stevenson collections in K GS 170, 358, 1249. Is it possible that this specimen was not intended to be the type of this species? The type collection is fragmentary; the Stevenson specimen label records collecting locality as Butterfly, collecting date as 2 June 1958, but these collecting details are not cited in Stevenson (1963). Generally, Stevenson (1963) provides her collecting number only when citing the type, but gives full collecting details (excluding her collecting number) of the type collection plus other any other collections of the same species under Habitat. There are 5 collections of this species in K. Four correspond to the collections cited (although the Collingwood collection, GS 1249, has the collecting date 22.2.1948 in Stevenson (1963) and a specimen label date 22.2.1958) in Stevenson (1963). One of these, cited as "Keith George Park, Wellington, 15.6.1949", with a Stevenson collecting number 646, is in a different kind of packet to almost all other Stevenson collections, and on a seperate sheet in the folder, suggesting it might have been missed during the initial accessioning of the Stevenson collections. GS 1348 is cited as the type, but the collecting details of this collection "Butterfly, 2.6.1958" are not cited in Stevenson (1963).

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Type cited as from Green Island Bush, near Dunedin. There are several sheets with this collecting data in the K type folder, together with several other Colenso and Kirk collections from other localities.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] two sheets within the type folder, one inside a packet labelled syntype, the other not in a separate packet. The material in the packet has more fruiting bodies.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Specimens from both NZ and Australia cited in the prologue.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Although the host plant was not identified in the original description (Massee 1898), judging on its macroscopic appearance, it could be a species of Pseudopanax. The macroscopic appearance and microscopic description of this fungus fits the common Pseudopanax pathogen, Placosoma nothopanicis.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Small packet from Tasmania, perhaps type material, but separate from other material clearlt labelled as type. Material inside small packet blackened (not well prepared), but clearly with well-developed, quite narrow stipe. Material on separate sheet in same condition (blackened) and with much the same look. [Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Packet originally labelled as Helotium aeruginosum B is a Cooke specimen 29, Waikate, NZ; annotated as Helotium omnivirens, then with Dennis annotation "no, spores too narrow for omnivirens" and "cf. Chlorospoenium olivaceum Rick". Although the genus Helotium used as a name, and references to Helotium aeruginosum and Helotium aeruginellum and H. aeruginascens, other notes suggest he was using these Helotium names for a Chlorociboria. Dennis includes annotations with spore shape and size - closest to C. halonata, but specimen (three pieces with woody tissue with coarse bark attached) with no obvious apothecia, so tomentum cannot be checked

[Kew types, Johnston 2010] Polyporus zealandicus Cke 1879 and P. zealandicus Cke 1888 both cite specimen Kirk 309. The 1879 name also cites a specimen 310, not photographed. The two names are placed in synonymy with Phellinus zealandicus by Cunningham 1963, this in turn placed in synonymy with Phellinus wahlbergii by Buchanan & Ryvarden 2000. These latter authors, however, place P. zealandicus Cke 1888 in synonymy with Bondarzewia berkleyi (perhaps based on Kirk 310??).

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Surely not a Rosellinia. Petrini (2003) did not mention this name. Macroscopically the small, globose ascomata are distinctly hairy - too small for Rosellinia, and too hairy. Spores seem to be drawn as 1-septate on the label.

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] type not found. Shaun just found a note in Cunningham (1944: 80) that Colenso 722 (the type) is labelled "S. szabolcsiense = S. czerniavii" in Kew. Presumably that is where it remains filed.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Kew images.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] The type specimen in Kew has Coprosma leaves with symptoms typical of Moellerodiscus micrcoprosmae and with a few M. microcoprosmae apothecia. The original decription notes minute pale spots surrounded by black lines. Such symptoms are typical of M. microcoprosmae. The relationship of the filiform spores described by Cooke to M. microcoprosmae are uncertain, but it is likely that they represent the same fungus.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Mycosphaerella-like perithecia within small, round, pale brown spots on living leaves, which often turn into shot hole symptoms. Aptroot annotated in 2001; "Mycosphaerella section Playa aristoteliae comb. Ined."
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] is this Mycosphaerella junciginea (Cooke) Lindau? [Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Should this now be Mycosphaerella juncigena (Cke) Lindau? - this is how it is filed at K Small, black, gregarious, partly erumpent pseudothecia. Perhaps more than 1 species in the specimen? Have a kind of a Coelomycete look about it.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Type K(M) 85358 Fallen leaves of Olearia rotundifolius. This is the little perithecial fungus which forms masses of erumpent pseudothecia on recently fallen leaves. Aptroot annotated in 2001 as "Planistromella majuscula (Cooke) Aptroot comb. nov."
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] The type specimen is annotated with a drawing by the mycologist described this species, showing 1-septate ascospores, 10 x 2.5 µm, typical of the genus Mycosphaerella. Examination of the isotype specimen in PDD showed several species were present on the leaves, including a Phyllosticta sp. and a Glomerella sp. However, Mycosphaerella fruiting bodies were not found.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Filed in K as Mycosphaerella todeae - has this combination been made? not in NZFungi.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Cooke (1886), when describing this as a new species, reported the host as Weinamnnia racemosa, however examination of the type specimen suggests that the host is in fact a Pseudopanax sp. Aptroot (2006) reported from the type specimen at Kew an ascomycete with 0-septate ascospores typical Glomerella sp., and referred Cooke’s species to this genus, despite an illustration on the packet clearly showing 1-septate ascospores typical of Sphaerella sensu Cooke (=Mycospherella in a modern sense). There are several species of fungi in an isotype specimen (PDD 71522), including what appear to be an anamorphic Botryosphaeriaceae, an inoperculate discomycete, a Parmulariceae-like fungus (referred to Asterina in Cooke’s original annotation of the specimen), and a Mycosphaerella sp. The Glomerella reported by Aptroot (2006) was not seen on the PDD isotype material, perhaps missing from this portion of the specimen by chance.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Two collections in the type folder, one from Taupo, the other Tauranga
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Kew images.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Kew images. Following examination of the type specimen, Aptroot (2006) noted "This is a Phaeosphaeria, with ascospores 3-septate, fusiform, pale brown, 35-40 x 5-7 um". A drawing on the packet of the type clearly shows 1-septate ascospores typical of Mycosphaerella. Examination of Luzula leaves from PDD specimens collected for other fungi from Campbell Island (the type locality) and southern New Zealand showed that several different Mycosphaerella spp. are common on this substrate. A detailed taxonomic study of Mycosphaerella on New Zealand monocotyledons is needed to match any of these species with S. depressa.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Berkeley reports on Eurybia furfuracea; this is now Olearia. Macroscopically looks just like Rosescheldiella, and the drawing of the spores on the packet look typical. There has been a Pseudocercospora described recently from this host, but it has dark lesion on upper surface of leaf as well as fruiting body partly hidden amongst leaf hairs on lower surface. The Lizonia specimen has no lesion on the upper surface, and there is no sign of a Pseudocercospora state.
Annotation on the label clearly shows the name Sphaeria humilis Berk. (an ined. herb name from Kew fungarium) and there is a note "Berkeley thinks it is an imperfect state of Sphaeria herbarum Fl. Ant. P.171" The collection is from Chrysobactron rolfsii, Auckland and Campbell Islands. The attached illustration shows 1-3 septate ascospores. Filed in K under Pleospora herbarum. There are other collections from Campbell and Auckland Islands on the same sheet, with typical Pleospora ascospores illustrated, and referred to Sphaeria herbarum. Berkeley notes in Flora Antarctica page 171 "On the same stalks [as occur a Pleospora and a Hendersonia], individuals having the same external characters occur, in which the sporidia are uniseptate. This form I at first believed to be a distinct species, but am now satisfied that it is an imperfect state of S. herbarum." [as asci are illsustrated for this species, 'imperfect' is being used in the sense of atypical]

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Type specimen (Kirk 24) in K had been placed in the folder with Anthostomella tenacis (also described from New Zealand from Phormium). Lu & Hyde (2000) noted they were unable to find the type material of A. phormiicola in K. Why was it is this folder? Assumed they were the same species because from the same host? A brief examination of the material suggested that the spores were a little larger than described from A. tenacis by Lu & Hyde (2000) [about 12.5-13.5 x 8.5-9, broad elliptic with broadly rounded ends, no obvious germ slit, no apical cells; ascus apex not seen]
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] = Rosenscheldiella pullulans. This is the Mycosphaerella-like pathogen quite common on Epacridaceae leaves. There are several collections in K (filed as Lizonia pullulans), mostly from Australia. There are a couple of NZ specimens in the type folder, one numbered 1209, the other labelled "New Zealand, Colenso" Nectria ferruginea Cooke, an Australian species is a synonym, fide Dingley notes in K. The Australian material in K matches biologically and macroscopically. Australian material often with rusty coloured layer across perithecia, this due to appearance of the epidermal layer as it folds back as ascoma becomes erumpent.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] There are several sheets in the Type folder, appear to be from several different collections. Photographed an old specimen from the boxed collection. What is the type??
