Notes

The fragile and pale argillaceous carpophores, the earthy to farinaceous smell, the encrusted cuticular hyphae, the clamp connections on the septa, and the conspicuously small 5-angled spores are distinctive characters of E. imbecille. The material gathered on the Solomon Islands agrees in all essential details with the typic collections from New Zealand.
