Entoloma chloroxanthum G. Stev. 1962

Holotype (K): 'Fringed Hill, Nelson, N.Z.; leg. Stevenson 1116, 3.VI.1956'. - Herb. HK. ZT 69/133 (PDD 27046): Track to Mt. Anglem, Stewart Island, N.Z.; leg. Horak, 14.III.1969'. - Holotype of Entoloma citreostipitatum Stev. (K): 'Botanical Gardens, Wellington, N.Z.; leg. Stevenson 615, 2.VI.1949'. - Holotype of Entoloma pteridicola' Seev. (K): 'Botanical Gardens, Wellington, N.Z.; leg. Stevenson, 26.V.1949 .
Pileus 5-20 mm diam., convex when young, becoming depressed or subumbilicate at the centre and expanded, deep green fading to yellow towards the strongly striate margin, covered by concolorous squamules or fibrils, dry, hygrophanous. Lamellae adnate or emarginate-decurrent, beige-greenish at first, turning pink, with concolorous gill edge. Stipe 25-40 x 1-2 mm, cylindrical, slender, deep green or yellow-green, with white weft at the base, glabrous, dry, fistulose. Context green-yellow. Odor and taste not distinctive.
Spores 9-11 x 6-7.5 µm, 5-6-angled. Basidia 30-40 x 8-10 µm, 4-spored. Cystidia none. Cuticle a cutis of loosely woven, repent, cylindrical hyphae (5-8 µm diam.), membrane thin-walled, not gelatinized, with vacuolar or plasmatic pigment. Clamp connections absent.
On soil in forests or shrubland (under Nothofagus spp., Leptospermum spp.) or on rotten debris (of Phormium tenax). New Zealand.
Stevenson 1962: l.c.
Critical revision of the type of Entoloma described by Stevenson (1962) showed that E. chloroxanthum had been described three times (see list of synonyms).
In aged specimens the deep green-yellow colour of the stipe and the pileus fades so that the most conspicuous macroscopic character of the fungus is lost. The microscopical features of the three type collections studied are identical. The above description is based on revision of the types supplemented by data obtained from fresh material collected in Stewart Island.
