Cystoderma clastotrichum (G. Stev.) E. Horak 1971

Description

Baeospora clastotricha Stevenson (29 D) Fig. 3 = Cystoderma clastotrichum (Stevenson) comb. nov. (Basionym: B. clastotricha Stevenson, Kew Bull. 19: 56, 1964).

This is undoubtedly a member of the genus Cystoderma which is represented in New Zealand by more than four species, according to our present knowledge. Cuticle consists of an epithelium formed by oval or roundish cells, with clamp, connections. Spores oval, hyaline, smooth, amyloid, 3.5-4.5 X 2.5-3 µ. Cystidia none.

The microscopical as well as macroscopical characters of the collection (COLENSO b 1023) correspond in all details with this common New Zealand species of Cystoderma, which was originally described as Baeospora clastotricha Stevenson (see there).

Omphalia anthiceps sensu Massee 1899 [1898]

Description

Densely tufted ; pileus deeply umbilicate, often somewhat umbonate but the umbo sunk in the central depression, thin, even, glabrous, white, disc tinged brown, 1-1.5 cm. broad; gills adnato-decurrent, distant, rather broad, white ; spores subglobose, 4-5 µ diameter; stem 1-1.5 cm. long, slender, glabrous, white, hollow.

Distribution

New Zealand. Cuba.

Habitat

Densely caespitose, on decaying logs.

Notes

Distinguished by the much-crowded habit, and the white pileus having the centre depressed and tinged brown.

Baeospora clastotricha G. Stev. 1964

Description

Pileus 1-3.5 cm. diam., ochraceous yellow, darker at centre, intensely velvety, plano-convex with down-rolled margin; flesh yellow. Gills adnate, creamy-white, thin, crowded. Stipe 3-7 x 0.2-0.4 cm., ochraceous yellow, paler and silky striate above, more or less clothed with cottony fibrils below, occasionally peronate, hollow, tough. Spores 5 x 3 µm, amyloid, thin-walled; print white. Hymenophoral trama and hyphae of tissues non-amyloid. Basidia with amyloid granulation. Cuticle of globe cells, 15-20 µm diam., with ochraceous yellow pigment, some becoming amyloid, covered by abundant hair-like chains fragmenting into cylindric cells, 3-4 µm broad and 4-8 µm long, some becoming amyloid, containing ochraceous yellow pigment (Fig. 34). Strong unpleasant smell.

Habitat

On fallen wood or rooting' in litter in Nothofagus forest, Keith George Park, 15.6.1949 (Type); & 25-5-1952; Lowry Bay, 6.7.1949, Fringed Hill, Nelson, 3.6.1956; all Stevenson.

Latin

Pileus 1-3.5 cm diam., ochraceo-luteus (medio intensius), eximie velutinus, plano-convexus margine deorsum revoluto; caro lutea. Lamellae adnatae; cremeo-albae, tenues, confertae. Stipes 3-7 x 0.2-0.4 cm, ochraceo-luteus, superne pallidior sericeo-striatus, inferne fibrillis gossypinis plus minus obtectus, nonnunquam peronatus, cavus, tenax. Sporae 3.5 x 3 µm, amyloideae, parietibus tenuibus, in cumulo albae. Trama hymenophoralis et hyphae texturae; pilei haud amyloidea. Basidia amyloideo-granulata. Cuticula e cellulis globiformibus 15-20 µm diam., cum pigmento ochraceo-luteo, nonnullis amyloideis et praeterea e catenis copiosis capilliformibus in cellulas cylindricas fragmentatis 3-4 µm latas 4-8 µm longas nonnulis amyloideas pigmentum ochraceo- luteum in sese tenentes sistens. Odor fortis, ingratus.

Notes

Although the peronate collections appeared different from the smooth-stemmed ones macroscopically, some were intermediate in this respect; all agreed in microscopic characters and thus are treated as one species.
