Descriptions

Cooper, J.A. 2014-: Studies of New Zealand agaric type collections not deposited in PDD (unpublished).

Hohenbuehelia nothofaginea G. Stev. 1964

Notes

[GS] Pileus 2-4 X 1.5-3 cm dark greyish brown, fan-shaped to reniform becoming somewhat lobed, margin strongly down-rolled at first, densely fibrillose, sessile; flesh thin, white, tough. Gills decurrent to the thickened point of attachment, creamy to ochraceous, shallow, moderately thick, very crowded. Spores 6 X 3-3.5 um non-amyloid. Metuloids very thick-walled, pointed, with or without crystals, very abundant (Fig. 1/54, p. 10). Cuticle of loosely woven thin-walled hyphae 4-5um diam., with clamp connections; tomentum of unbranched similar hyphae containing pigment. HABITAT: on fallen dead Nothofagus, Rotoiti, Nelson, 6.6.1955, Stevenson (type). This species and the previously described one [H. podoccarpinea] seem closely related but distinct, and it is presumed that the host range of each is restricted. [JC] Note both the description and the specimen show a cap surface entirely fibrillose. The pileipellis is a gelatinised separable pellicle. In section the very top surface is dark brown and other hyphae hyaline. In a squash of the pellicle the brown hyphae have zebroid encrustation, some thick walled (possibly the tomentum which is thick-walled) and a few petalodes-form brown, acuminate thick walled pilocystidia, some crystal encrusted. No gloeopilocystidia seen. The gills are not crowded, conpared with H. podocarpinea, mostly smooth but patches minutely fimbriate. The metuloid cheilocystidia are smaller than the pleurocystidia. Spores length=6.0–8.3µm (µ=7.2, σ=0.65), width=3.3–4.2µm (µ=3.8, σ=0.22), Q=1.6–2.5µm (µ=1.91, σ=0.19), n=27. It is worth streesing that Stevenson description and the material, say greyish brown, not brown as in Horak's photo or my subsequent interpretation.

Cooper, J.A. 2014-: Studies of New Zealand agaric type collections not deposited in PDD (unpublished).

Hohenbuehelia tristis G. Stev. 1964

Notes

[GS] Pileus 1-2 X 1-1.5 cm., buff to sordid, finely fibrillose, fan-shaped, sessile. Gills decurrent to point of attachment, creamy white, shallow, crowded. Spores 7 x 3um, non-amyloid, thin-walled. Metuloids 80-90 X 15-20 um, pseudo-amyloid, very thick-walled, encrusted with crystals, very abundant on gill-faces (Fig. 1/53, p. 10). Cuticle of loosely woven hyphae with clamp connections, covered by tufts of parallel thin-walled hyphae 3-8um diam., with conspicuous clamp connections. HABITAT: on fallen rotten wood, Levin, 27.10.1947, Stevenson (type). [EH] = Hohenbuehelia nothofaginea. [JAC] Greta indicated a relationship between H. nothofagnea and H. podocarpinea, assuming host specificity. It is interesting therefore that Horak synonimised this with H. nothofaginea (with dark greyish brown cap), but retained H. podocapinea. The pileipellis is a removeable elastic pellicle (treated in KOH). A cream tomentum on the cap is extensive compared to other NZ species (except nothofaginea) but the material is very sparse. There are no metuloid cystidia elements in the pileipellis, and just a few gloeosphex cystidia, mostly devoid of apical mucilage but some amorphously crystaline. A section through the pileipellis shows a slightly pigmented layer below the pellicle. The gills are not crowded, compared say to H. podocarpinea. The gill edge is minutely fimbriate, perhaps tending to serrulate. Spores length=6.4–7.8µm (µ=7.0, σ=0.46), width=3.1–4.2µm (µ=3.7, σ=0.32), Q=1.6–2.2µm (µ=1.90, σ=0.16), n=20.

Notes

Fig. 2 = Hohenbuehelia aff. nothofaginea Stevenson

The size and dimensions of the microscopical characters found in this collection (COLENSO 1007) are very similar to those of H. nothofaginea Stevenson.

Pleurotus atrocaeruleus sensu Massee 1899 [1898]

Notes

Of the three collections in Kew, one belongs to Henzicybe Karsten (COLENSO b 534), while the two remaining collections (COLENSO b 329, b 975) are conspecific with Hohenbuehelia nothofaginea Stevenson.

Pleurotus serotinus sensu E. Horak 1971

Notes

Pleurotus serotinus (Fries) (6) Fig. 25 = Hohenbuehelia nothofaginea Stevenson

After studying this collection (COLENSO b 72) we cannot see any differences between it and H. nothofaginea, a ubiquous fungus in the beech forests of New Zealand.

Hohenbuehelia tristis G. Stev. 1964

Notes

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Two packets in the type folder, with exactly the same collecting data on the K labels. However, inside one of the packets is a Greta Stevenson collection label with GS 210 as the original collecting number, the 210 changed to 211 at some later stage. This packet has lots of wood, some with what appear to be coriticiod fruiting bodies, but no obvious Hohenbuehelia fruiting bodies. The other packet, with an unchanged Stevenson collecting number 211, has a few Hohenbuehelia fruiting bodies.

Pleurotus atrocaeruleus sensu Massee 1899 [1898]

Description

Pileus at first resupinate, sessile, soon distinctly reflexed and becoming horizontal, obovate or reniform, downy, rarely almost glabrous, rugulose when dry, due to contraction of the cuticle, usually blackish-blue, rarely brownish; 2.5-5 cm long, up to 2.5 cm broad; flesh soft, upper stratum (pellicle) slightly gelatinous, up to 4mm thick, blackish-brown; lower layer (or flesh proper) thin and whitish; gills at first radiating from a point inside the margin, then converging towards the base, broad, whitish, at length tinged with yellow; spores 7-8 x 5 µ.

Distribution

Dannevirke, New Zealand. Australia, Central Africa, Europe, United States.

Habitat

On rotten trunks.

Notes

Sessile, gregarious, somewhat imbricated. Smell pleasant. Distinguished by the dusky colour of the pileus and by the dark-coloured gelatinous cortical layer.
