Pileus subglobose, then expanding until almost plane, margin usually drooping, slightly umbonate, sometimes depressed round the umbo, 1-3 cm, across, even, glabrous, uniform dark-brown; flesh thin, pale greenish-yellow; gills adnexed, becoming almost or quite free as the pileus expands, crowded, rather broad, rusty-brown at maturity; spores elliptical, 5 x 3 µ, rusty; stem 3-7 cm. long, slender, almost equal, paler than the pileus, almost or quite smooth.
New Zealand.
On logs.
Sent to Kew by Colenso mixed with F. purpureo-nitens, from which it differs, as also from every other described species, by the dark-brown pileus and greenish-yellow flesh. Fasciculate.

Hypholoma brunneum (Massee) D.A. Reid 1956

TASMANIA: caespitose, on deep seed boxes, made from Pinus sp., the timber of which had been steam sterilized, Hobart, E.G. Wingrave, May and August 1953 [Herb. F.P.S.M. No. 3818].
Pileus 4-5 cm. or more in diameter, dark olive brown to nearly black when fresh, smooth above, plane, but margin occasionally inrolled. Stipe up to 6 cm. in length, hollow, glabrous, concolorous with cap. Flesh very thin, silky, fibrous, ochraceous, drying yellowish, homogeneous with that of stipe. Gills adnate, interlaminated, 0-5 cm. wide, olive-tinted cinnamon, dusky. Pleurocystidia present, 25-32 x 11-12 µ, clavate, with brown contents. Spores brown under the microscope, elliptical, monoguttulate, with well defined apical germ-pores, 6 -7.5 x 3.5-4 µ (7-8 x 4-4.5 µ in the type collection).
This fungus which is a problem to nurserymen in Tasmania, was hitherto known only from New Zealand.
