Tricholoma hemisphaericum G. Stev. 1964

[GS] Pileus 1-1.5 cm. diam., greyish sepia, hemispherical, matt, cuticle drying paler and cracking into small scales; flesh thin, brownish. Gills decurrent by a tooth, deep, distant, whitish. Stipe 2.5 cm. x 1-3 mm., greyish sepia, tapering slightly to base, solid, surface smooth, striate, cracking to make a few small scales below. Spores 6-7 x 4um, faintly amyloid, oblong-ovoid, hyaline, thin-walled (Fig. 1/26, p. 10). HABITAT: in soil under Podocarpus totara, Woodside, Dunedin, 23.5.1953, Stevenson (type). [EH] Cuticle of smooth, thin-walled cells forming an hymeniderm, coloured with a brown, plasmatic pigment, clamp connections present. Spores oval, hyaline, amyloid, smooth, 5-6 x 3.5-4 um. Cheilo- and pleurocystidia none. [JAC] does indeed appear to a 'Dermoloma' like D. murinum except with distinctly amyloid spores. No cap/stem tissue amyloid or dextrinoid. I could not find the caulocystidia depicted by EH. 2 and 4 spored basidia but collapsing readily. No cystidia seen. I think there is a chance that SEM would show a very finely asperulate spore surface. spores length=4.7–5.8µm (µ=5.3, σ=0.29), width=3.0–4.3µm (µ=3.7, σ=0.34), Q=1.2–1.8µm (µ=1.43, σ=0.14), n=20. A species that is microscopically distinct and not collected recently. Rare.
