Type and specimen examined: New Zealand: Mt. Egmont, 2700 ft., Taranaki District, Feb. 1952. Coll. by µ H. Cunningham. (NZPD).

Receptacles scattered, waxy, fragile, 0,2-0,5 mm. in diameter, attached by a narrow base, cupulate or as often pendant; exterior white, drying cream, tomentum of long, unbranched, aseptate hyphae, tortuous, 3 µ diameter, finely crystal coated, tapering gradually to long-acuminate apices; margin inturned, lacerate when old; hymenial surface concave, even, pallid buff or cream; context white, to 40 µ thick, base to 250 µ of parallel hyphae radiately arranged; generative hyphae to 2,5 µ in diameter, wall 0,25 µ thick, sparsely branched, septate; hymenial layer to 35 µ deep, paraphyses subclavate; basidia subclavate, 12-16 x 7- 8 µ 4-sterigmate ; spores broadly fusiform or lemon-shaped, apiculate, 6-9 x 4,5-5,5 µ smooth, hyaline.

Habitat: On Pseudopanax crassifolium.

The above description was taken from Cunningham (1953). The writer would add that the surface hairs are 150-250 X 5-6 µ arising directly from the context hyphae without apparent septation; all hyphae and the base of the basidia possess clamps.
