North Island: WKR, vic. Forestry Headquarters, 24.vi.81, coll. RHP, no. 42412 (TENN); WKR, vic. Headquarters, 30.v.82, no. 43576 (TENN).

Fruit bodies up to 60 x 2.5 mm, simple clubs, gregarious to connate in pairs, arising from small white mycelial patches. Club greenish yellow ("Naples-yellow", "mustard-yellow", "old-gold") to apricot-yellow ("buff-yellow", "maize-yellow"). Stipe brighter ("primuline-yellow", "apricot-yellow"), silky, arising from a white mycelial pad.
Tramal hyphae of club 3-8 µm diam., hyaline, clampless, parallel, tightly packed. Subhymenium extensive, pseudoparenchymatous. Hymenium thickening; basidia 65-75 x 8-9 µm, clavate, bifurcate or clamped at base; contents homogeneous to opalescent at maturity;sterigmata 4, stout, divergent.
Spores 6.4-9 x 6.4-8.2 µm, broadly ovate to broadly ellipsoid, smooth, hyaline; contents multiguttulate to opalescent when mature; hilar appendix broad, papillate.

This species has been described elsewhere (Petersen 1978b) from south-eastern Australia and New Zealand material differs solely in very slight colour variation. TENN no. 43576 represents an apricot or buffy yellow variant, originally thought to be a separate species, but micro morphologically it matches the typical colour form too closely to be segregated.
