Rhizopogon vinicolor A.H. Sm. 1966

Type: Mycorrhizal Fungi; Description: Basidiomata hypogeous to subepigeous, globose to subglobose, white at first, becoming vinaceous red, 10–30 mm in diameter; rhizomorphs very few or absent; peridium of a single layer, vinaceous in section. Gleba white to ochraceous, becoming olive to dark olive brown; tramal plates enclosing locules nearly filled with basidiospores. Basidiospores elliptical to ovoid, 0-septate, 5–9 × 3–5 μm, smooth, hyaline.
Distribution: Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taupo, Gisborne, Mid Canterbury, Southland.; 1st Record: Chu-Chou & Grace (1981c).
Notes: The taxonomy of this species is not clear as several other species are morphologically very similar to R. vinicolor. Collectively, they are referred to as ‘the R. vinicolor species complex’ (Kretzer et al. 2003). The description given below has been adapted from Smith & Zeller (1966) on which identification of the New Zealand specimens has been based.
Significance: Isolated from and shown experimentally to be a mycorrhizal partner of Pseudotsuga menziesii (Chu-Chou & Grace 1981c).; Host(s): Pseudotsuga menziesii.
