Thelephora griseozonata Cooke 1891
ON HUMUS. Canterbury, Balmoral State Forest, 350 m.
Hymenophore commonly rosetted, formed from several erect flabelliform pilei fused at margins, attached by a central base; margins entire, or torn, but not lobed; exterior surfaces of pilei scabrid, exhibiting several concentric, ferruginous, grey, chestnut, or umber colour zones sometimes demarked by raised strigose tufts on the periphery of zones; hymenial surface umber, finely tuberculate. Microfeatures as in T. terrestris.
DISTRIBUTION: North America, New Zealand.
HABITAT: Encrusting humus under pines.
Specimens were collected in a plantation of Pinus ponderosa and match the type in Kew herbarium, ex "Aitken, South Carolina, H. W. Ravenel". The species is merely a well marked form of T. terrestris, identical in microfeatures, differing in shape and surface features of pilei and different habitat. The most marked character is that dorsal surfaces of the pilei are concentrically zoned with bands of grey and brown, a second that margins of pilei are fused to form erect infundibuliform rosettes.
TYPE LOCALITY: South Carolina, U.S.A.
