Phleogena faginea (Fr.) Link 1833
On dead wood of (1) Dysoxylon spectabile, Titirangi, Wood's Bay, July 1948, J. M. Dingley; (2) Podocarpus dacrydioides. Huia, 12 July 1953, J. M. Dingley; (3) unknown host. Lake Papaitonga, 18 Aug. 1919, G. H. Cunningham.
Angiosperm or occasionally gymnosperm wood.
Brefeld, Unters. Gesamtgeb. Mykol. 7: pls. 1, 2, 3. 1888; Lloyd, Mycol. Notes 75, pl. 341, f. 3231-32. 1925: Shear & Dodge, J. agric. Res. 30: 410, f. A-Q. 1925.
This distinctive little species could easily be mistaken for a Myxomycete. When young, the pileus is covered by a thin peridium which peels off at maturity, exposing a mass of tortuous hyphae and spores.
A second species, Pilacre divisa, was described from New Zealand by Berkeley (in Hooker 1855, p. 197). The type could not be located but the description suggests that it may well be Phleogena faginea. The species was recorded from New Zealand by Lloyd (1925, p. 1360) as Pilacre faginea.
