Click to collapse Descriptions Info

Agaricus (Pleurotus) coociformis, Berk.; minutus, pileo primum pezizaeformi demum reflexo cervino dense piloso, stipite nullo, lamellis angustis pallide alutaceis setulosis. HAB . On decorticated wood, Bay of Islands, J.D.H. Pileus 1-2 lines broad, at first Pezizaeform, then reflected, thickly clothed with fawn-coloured hairs, somewhat grooved. Stem none. Gills narrow, setulose, pale tan-coloured. A very pretty and distinct little species, which may be compared with Montagne A. phalligerus, but the antheridia are less strongly developed, and, unless I am mistaken, the spores are white.

Pleurotus cocciformis Berkeley (1 D, 16) = Chaetocalathus cocciformis (Berkeley) comb. nov. (Basionym: Agaricus (Pleurotus) cocciformis Berk. in Hook.f., Fl. Novae-Zelandiae 2: 174, 1855)

Despite the poor type material (New Zealand, Bay of Islands, 714) the taxonomic position of this species was finally resolved with the aid of additional collections. Our present knowledge indicates that this distinct species occurs exclusively on rotten wood of Vitex lucens.

Scattered, minute, 3-5 mm. across, sessile, laterally attached, at first cup-shaped, then with the hymenium downwards; pileus covered with clusters of tawny thick-walled hairs; gills rather close together, narrow, hairy, buff.
Northern Island, New Zealand.
On dead and decayed wood.
A minute and curious species; pileus densely covered with thick-walled tawny hairs arranged in fascicles; gills with the component hyphae. running out at the margin and sides into free hairs. Spores not seen. Type specimen examined.
