[GS] Pileus 2-4-5 cm. diam., ochraceous, waxy, hemispherical, umbilicate to infundibuliform with an opening to stem cavity; flesh thin, pale ochraceous. Gills decurrent, creamy to pale ochraceous, thin, moderately crowded to moderately distant, long and short intercalated. Stipe 2-3.5 cm - X 2 -5 mm tapering to base, hollow, rather fragile to somewhat tough, creamy to ochraceous, silky striate to velutinate. Spores 5-6 X 3-3.5um, non-amyloid, oblong ovoid, thin-walled, smooth (Fig. 1/9, p. 10). Sour smell. HABITAT : under Nothofagus and other trees, strongly attached by mycelium to litter, 29.4.1956, Stevenson (type); Nelson, 14.6.1956 & 20.6.1956, D. Read. [EH] as Omphalina nothofaginea. Cuticle consisting of cylindrical, non-gelatinised, clampless hyphae forming a cutis, with epimembranous pigment. Spores oval, hyaline, neither amyloid nor dextrinoid, smooth, 5-6 X 3-4 um. Cystidia none. [JAC] Separable pellicle when rehydrated with NH4OH. Cutis clamped. Epimembranous pigment absent. With spherical vesicles. Spores (including apiculus) length=4.9–6.2µm (µ=5.6, σ=0.39), width=3.2–4.0µm (µ=3.7, σ=0.22), Q=1.4–2.0µm (µ=1.54, σ=0.13), n=20. Clearly the same as C. (Singerocybe) clitocyboides and a later synonym. The collection is not mixed and all forms in the sample have clamps and vesicles. It will be worth checking the type of Leucopaxillus otagoensis to ensure there was not a switch of Egon's notes associated with the two species.
