Descriptions
Coprinus fimetarius (L.) Fr. 1838
The spores of this collection (SINCLAIR and HAAST 1860-61) measure 8.5-11 X 5.5-6.5 µ and are very similar in shape to those of European specimens. We suggest that C. fimetarius was accidentally introduced into New Zealand.
Coprinus fimetarius (L.) Fr. 1838
Pileus clavate, then conico-expanded, soon split and up-turned, greyish, apex tinged with brown, covered at first with white floccose scales, then naked and coarsely grooved, 2.5-5 cm. across, disc even, flesh thin; gills free, lanceolate, narrow, wavy, black; spores 12-14 x 7-8 µ; cystidia large, numerous; stem 10-15 cm. long, white, apex downy, squamulose below, hollow except the thickened base.
Canterbury Province, Middle Island, New Zealand. Australia, Europe, Siberia, United States.
On manure-heaps, dung, &c.
Solitary, or usually clustered, soon splitting, curling up and deliquescing into a black, dripping liquid, leaving the stems standing.
