Gliophorus luteoglutinosus E. Horak 1973

Holotype (PDD 27092); Isotype (Herb. HK. ZT 68/667): 'Tapu, Coromandel Peninsula, N.Z.; leg. Horak:. 11.VII.1968'.
Pileus 5-12 mm diam., hemispherical when young becoming convex, margin never upturned, lemon yellow or sulphur yellow, glutinous, translucidly striated at the membranaceous margin. Lamellae adnexed or emarginate adnexed, not decurrent, whitish to yellowish, gill edge concolorous, glutinous thread absent. Stipe 15-30 x 1.5-3 mm, cylindric,-concolorous with pileus, connected in dense clusters, glutinous, upper portion of stipe often dry, solid, flexuous. Context yellow. Odor and taste unpleasant, like burnt hair. Chemical reactions on pileus unknown. Spores 7.5-9 x 5-5.5 µm, ellipsoid, smooth, inamyloid. Basidia 50-60 x 8 µm, 4-spored. Cheilocystidia absent. Cuticle consisting of repent or suberect, strongly gelatinized, hyaline hyphae (1-4 µm diam.) forming an ixocutis. Clamp connections present.
 In soil under Weinmannia, Metrosideros, Dacrydium. etc. New Zealand.
Pileo 5-12 mm lato, ex hemisphaerico convexo, limoneo vel sulphureo glutinoso, striato. Lamellis adnexis, albido-luteis, filo gelatinoso nullo instructis. stipite 15-30 x 1.5-3 mm, cylindraceo, pileo concolori glutinoso, connato. Odore cornum adustum in mentem revocante. Sporis 7.5-9 x 5-5.5 µm, ellipsoideis. Cheilocystidiis nullis. Epicute ex hyphis gelatinosis ixocutem formantibus, septis fibulatis. Ad terram in silvis. Novazelandia.
In moist and fresh condition the fruiting bodies of G. luteoglutinosus are covered with a thick layer of slime. This species is near G. chromolimoneus (Stev.) which lacks the pronounced and unpleasant odor and has conspicuous cheilocystidia forming a gelatinous thread on the gill edge. G. chromolimoneus Hk. is distinguished by its smaller spores and its occurrence in montane Nothofagus forests.
Holotypus (PDD 27092): 'Tapu, Coromandel Peninsula, N.Z; leg. Horak, 11.VII.1958'.
