Flammula fusa (Batsch) (6) Fig. 11 = Gymnopilus crociphyllus (Cooke and Massee) Pegler 1965.

In spite of the fully destroyed specimen (COLENSO b 243), we are quite convinced that the residual rust-brown, warted spores with a distinct, smooth plage (6-8 X 4-5 µ) are those of the above species. This Gymnopilus is one of the most common agarics in New Zealand.

Fig. 20 Under this name four collections can be found at Kew: the material labelled (COLENSO b 70) belongs to an undescribed species of Gymnopilus which grows mainly on rotten wood of Leptospermum. The other three collections (COLENSO b 51, b 210, b 311) represent Gymnopilus crociphyllus (Cooke and Massee) Pegler. Spores oval, with distinct smooth plage, otherwise warted, rust-brown, 5-6 X 3.5-4 µ.

Tricholoma rutilans (Fries) (8,16) Fig. 24 = Gymnopilus crociphyllus (Cooke and Massee) Pegler

All characters of this collection (COLENSO b 972) correspond well with the type. It occurs both in Australia and New Zealand.

Gregarious or caespitose ; pileus convex, then plane, obtuse, often irregular, even, glabrous, surface not becoming broken up, dry, minutely silky under a lens when young, golden-tawny, but becoming pale and yellowish when old, 4-8 cm. across; flesh pallid, thickish at the disc, thinning out towards the margin; gills adnate and subdecurrent when young, often separating from the stem when old, 4-6 mm. broad, crowded, white, then yellow, stained and spotted with brown when old; spores elliptical, obliquely apiculate, 8 x 4-5 µ; stem 5-8 cm. long, up to 1 cm. thick, firm, equal, silky, then fibrillosely-striate, yellowish, base with white down, sometimes rooting, imperfectly hollow; veil flocculose, white, but very fugacious and scarcely evident.
Dannevirke, New Zealand. Australia, Europe, Siberia, Cuba, United States.
On rotten wood.
A very showy fungus, distinguished in the genus by the clear tawny-orange pileus and yellow gills becoming spotted with brown.
Pileus subglobose, then broadly expanded but the margin persistently incurved, ochraceous or with a tinge of primrose-yellow, glabrous at first, then broken up into minute innate squamules or cracked in an areolate manner, 2.5-7 cm. diameter; flesh thick, compact, rigid when dry; gills adnate, with a decurrent tooth, rather distant, very broad, bright-yellow, then with a rusty tinge; spores elliptical, 10 x 6 µ; stem distinctly excentric or lateral, about 2.5 cm. long, stout, solid, more or less striate, coloured like the pileus, or paler.
Dannevirke, New Zealand, Australia.
On wood.
A very distinct and well-defined species, known by the broad clear-yellow gills and excentric stem.
Pileus ovato-globose, obtuse, with the margin incurved, and entirely covered with a dense unbroken coating of dark-purple or reddish-brown velvety nap, when young; when older becoming campanulate and often umbonate, purple, all one colour; at maturity expanded, often umbonate, the cuticle broken up into small purple innate fascicles of down on a yellow ground; always dry, 6-14 cm. diameter; flesh thick, soft, deep-yellow from the earliest stage, becoming golden-yellow when broken; gills broadly adnexed, yellow from the first, crowded, edge thickened, floccose, and deeper yellow than the rest of the gill; spores subglobose, 5-6 µ diameter; stem 5-9 cm. long, up to 2 cm. thick, fleshy, imperfectly hollow, soft, rather bulbous when short, ventricose when elongated, yellow, variegated, especially upwards, with purplish floccose squamules.
New Zealand. Australia, Europe, United States.
On the ground.
Inodorous ; size very variable. Readily distinguished by the yellow flesh and gills.
