Clitocybe wellingtonensis G.M. Taylor & G. Stev. 1964

[GS] Pileus 2-2.6 cm. diam., creamy, orange at centre, convex with a broad umbilicus, moist at first, drying smooth; flesh soft, white. Gills decurrent, moderately distant, creamy, margins slightly waved. Stipe 3 cm. x 3-6 mm., thicker at base, creamy or with ochraceous tints; flesh soft, white. Spores 4-6 x 3-4um, non-amyloid, thin-walled, hyaline (Fig. 1/10, p. 10); print white. Cuticle of closely woven hyphae. HABITAT : attached to litter in mixed broad-leaved forest, Belmont, Wellington, 20.6.1960, G. M. Taylor (type) & Waikanae, 6.8.1960 [JAC] No cystidia. Spores sticking in tetrads. Pileal surface a clamped cutis, partially gelatinised. The material consist of fragments of one sporocarp. Spores (including apiculus) length=4.6–6.0µm (µ=5.1, σ=0.45), width=2.5–3.1µm (µ=2.9, σ=0.16), Q=1.6–2.2µm (µ=1.80, σ=0.18), n=18. The spores seem very variable in size and shape but there are few visible. This material agrees in all but 'orange at centre' with more recent collections from both indigenous and modified habitats, identified as C. metachroa. On the other hand it also agrees with my C. 'Ohakune'. Further collections of material from the type locality may indicate otherwise.
