Descriptions

Anon.: NZFUNGI (unassigned reference).

Marasmius Fr. 1836

Notes

Spore print white. Small brown or whitish mushrooms characterised by having tough, leathery fruiting bodies, some species with long, very narrow, almost hair-like stalks. The stalks are often dark.

There are more than 25 species of Marasmius reported for New Zealand. In addition, there are several more species in Marasmius-like genera such as Micromphale (with a garlic odour), Marasmiellus (lacking a central stalk), and Gloiocephala (poorly defined, fold-like gills).

Most species are found on small twigs and sticks, and fallen, dead leaves. Several of the indigenous, leaf-inhabiting species are specialised to a single kind of plant, for example M. fishii on flax leaves, M. podocarpicola on totara, M. rhombisporus on pseudopanax, and M. rhopalostylidis on nikau. The introduced M. oreades is a soil-inhabiting species found in grassland.

Notes

Small, tough mushrooms on fallen wood, twigs and leaves. Distnguished from Marasmiellus by pileipellis structure (hymeniform palisade rather than a cutis or trichoderm). Micromphale has a garlic-like odour.

Thirty or more species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi. Taxonomically still poorly understood.

Massee, G.E. 1899: The fungus flora of New Zealand. Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute 31: 282–349.

Marasmius Fr. 1836

Description

Pileus regular, thin, tough and pliant; gills pliant, somewhat distant, variously attached or quite free, edge thin, entire, often connected by transverse bars or veins; stem central, slender, cartilaginous or hoary, minutely velvety or polished; spores white.

A very distinct genus, but distinguished more especially by biological characters. Differing from Collybia and Mycena, its nearest allies, by not deliquescing at maturity, but drying up, and again assuming the original form when moistened. Many species have a smell resembling garlic. On the ground, among dead leaves, some on branches, &c:

Stevenson, G. 1964: The Agaricales of New Zealand: V. Kew Bulletin 19(1): 1-59.

Marasmius Fr. 1836

Description

Tough to very tough fungi of a reviving consistency, especially in the stipe which is often dark coloured and string like; epicutis irregular of special elements which are non-amyloid to pseudo-amyloid; spores thin-walled usually non-amyloid, often of variable size within a single species.
