Notes

Entoloma placidum (Fries) (11,16,27) Fig. 21 = Pluteus readii Stevenson

The examined material (COLENSO b 1204) agrees with this native Pluteus (see there) in all characters.

Description

Pileus 2-6 cm. across, flesh thin, campanulate, then convex, not striate, the blackish disc densely downy, the remainder covered with blackish fibrils or squamules on a greyish-white ground, squamules arranged concentrically when old; gills adnexed, very broad behind, not ventricose, crowded, whitish, as is also the margin; stem 5-8 cm. long, 3 mm. thick, equal, very rigid, having white meal at the slightly thickened apex, and with black points or squamules when seen under a lens, remainder glabrous, even, dark-blue or blackish-blue.
