Tricholoma elegans G. Stev. 1964

K(M)235263, Stevenson 911. The material confirms the modern concept of T. elegans.Within NZ Tricholoma this variable species is only possibly confused with T. 'nelsoniana' with a morphology requiring clarification. It seems likley the latter differes in its squamulose/fibrillose stipe/pileus. These characters are not present in this type material. Spores length=4.7–7.5µm (µ=6.0, σ=0.59), width=4.0–5.4µm (µ=4.7, σ=0.34), Q=1.1–1.5µm (µ=1.28, σ=0.11), n=20 , excluding prominent apiculus, to 1.5um.

Tricholoma elegans G. Stev. 1964

Pileus 4-9 cm diam., orange rufous to flesh colour, plane to broadly concave with a waved margin, moist at first, drying fibrillose scaly; flesh creamy at first becoming orange rufous. Gills sinuate, moderately crowded, creamy becoming blotched with light brown. Stipe 10-12 x 1 cm, orange rufous to flesh colour, white at base, fibrillose striate with sparse flocculent scales below, equal or nearly so, solid, flesh continuous with that of cap. Spores 5-7 x 4-5 µm non-amyloid, thin-walled (Fig. 30). Cuticle of loosely woven hyphae up to 10 µm diam. Noticeable fungus smell.

Pileus 4-9 cm diam., aurantiaco-rufus usque carneus, planus usque late concavus, margine undulato, primum humidus, siccitate fibrilloso-squamosus; came primum cremea deinde aurantiaco-rufa. Lamellae sinuosae, modice confertae, cremeae, deinde maculis latis laete brunneis coloratae. Stipes 10-12 x 1 cm, aurantiaco-rufus usque carneus, basi albus, squamis sparsis flocculosis inferne fibrilloso-striatus, plus minus aequalis, solidus; came cum pileo continua.
