Marasmius haematocephalus (Mont.) Fr. 1838

Reported to occur on fallen leaves and wood in the Bush District, North Island (Colenso 1890; Massee 1898a). Although no New Zealand material has been located for study, we suspect that the species may occur in subtropical habitats and we have included it in the key. For a description, illustrations and commentary refer to Part I of this series on South Pacific Marasmii (#18).

Marasmius haematocephalus (Mont.) Fr. 1838

Pileus very thin, campanulate, then convex, finally almost plane, plicate, margin crenate, glabrous; deep-red, up to 1 cm. across; gills narrowly adnexed, distant, pallid; stem 3-5 cm. long, very slender, equal, horny, umber or blackish, expanded at the base into a minute pallid disc.

On fallen leaves, wood, &c.
Readily distinguished by the deep-red colour of the plicate or fluted pileus, and the dark hair-like stem.
