Hohenbuehelia nothofaginea G. Stev. 1964
[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.

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

[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Kew images.
Pileus rather fleshy, at first resupinate, then expanded and horizontal, reniform or semicircular, glabrous, covered with a thin viscid pellicle, reddish-brown, grey, or umber, sessile or prolonged, behind into a short stem-like base; 1.5-3 cm. across; gills radiating from the point of attachment of the pileus to the matrix, rather broad, crowded, yellowish ; spores subglobose, 5-6 p, diameter.
Dannevirke, New Zealand. Europe, United States, Chili.
On rotten wood, stumps, &c.
Usually caespitose and imbricated.
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.
Dannevirke, New Zealand. Australia, Central Africa, Europe, United States.
On rotten trunks.
Sessile, gregarious, somewhat imbricated. Smell pleasant. Distinguished by the dusky colour of the pileus and by the dark-coloured gelatinous cortical layer.
Hohenbuehelia nothofaginea G. Stev. 1964
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 3-3.5µm, non-amyloid. Metuloids very thick-walled, pointed, with or without crystals, very abundant (Fig. 54), Cuticle of loosely woven thin-walled hyphae 4 -5 µm diam., with clamp connections; tomentum of unbranched similar hyphae containing pigment.
On fallen dead Nothofagus, Rotoiti, Nelson, 6.6.1955, Stevenson (type).
Pileus 2-4 x 1.5-3 cm, fusco-griseo-brunneus, flabellatus usque reniformis, deinde plus minus lobatus, margine primum valde deorsum involute, dense fibrillosus, sessilis; caro tenuis, alba, tenax. Lamellae usque ad originem adnectentem incrassatam decurrentes, cremeae usque ochraceae, haud altae, modice crassae, confertissimae. Sporae 6 x 3-3.5 µm, haud amyloideae. Metuloidea cum parietibus crassissimis, acuta, crystallis plus minus incrustata, copiosissima, Cuticula ex hyphis laxe intertextis 4-5 µm diam., cum fibulis, sistens; tomentum ex hyphis similibus haud ramosis pigmentiferis sistens.
This species and the previously described one seem closely related but distinct, and it is presumed that the host range of each is restricted.
Typus: Stevenson 1002.
