Pileus 4 cm. diam., surface gelatinous to glutinous, pale ochraceous, cuticle of interwoven hyphae; flesh soft, spongy, pale ochraceous. Pores up to 1 mm. diam., tubes 4-6 mm.long, pale violet. Stipe 4-5 cm. X 3-4 mm. tough, cartilagineous, pale fawn at top, darker brown and finely striate below; flesh almost white at top, becoming fawn towards base. Spores 17-18 X 5-6um., thick amber-tinted wall, with an indistinct germ-pore, cystidia not seen.
rooting singly in a bank close to Nothofagus solandri stumps, Maitai Valley, 29.4.1956, Stevenson. This appears to be near to, but distinct from, Strobilomyces fusisporus Kawam. described from Japan by Kawamura (1954).
Pileus 4 cm. diam., demum applanatus, pallide ochraceous, gelatinosus vel glutinosus; caro mollis, concolorata. Pori usque ad 1 mm. diam., pallide violacei; tubuli 4-6 mm. longi, poris concolores. Stipes 4-5 cm. X 3-4 mm., subaequalis, in basim radicatum productus, lentus, cartilagineus, apice pallide hinnuleus, ceterum fusco-brunneus et striis longitudinaliter ornatus; caro tantum non apice alba, basim versus hinnulea. Sporae 17-18 X 5-6um, subellipsoideae, brunneo-flavescentes (PI. 2/3a), in cumulo ferrugineum. Cystidia non visa.
Typus: Stevenson 1060.
Fruitbodies two. Pilei 2 - 3.5 x 0.3 - 0.5 cm, smooth, uninterrupted, light gold. Stipe 5 - 5.2 x 0.2 - 0.4 cm, equal to subobclavate, concolorous with pileus, smooth. Pileus cuticle an interwoven ixotrichodermium; terminal cells 2.5 - 6.5 µm diam. (dm = 4 µm), hyaline in KOH, yellow in Melzer's. Tube trama, hyphae 2.5 - 8 µm diam. (dm = 8 µm), boletoid, hyaline in KOH, yellow in Melzer's. Clamp connections absent. Basidia 30 - 43 x 10.5 - 13 µm (Dm = 32.5 x 11.5 µm), thin-walled, clavate, hyaline in KOH, yellow in Melzer's. Pleurocystidia absent; cheilocystidia 19.5 - 47 x 4 - 8 µm (Dm = 34 x 6.5 µm), thin-walled with a few becoming thick-walled, equal, hyaline in KOH, yellow in Melzer's, abundant (Fig. 7); caulocystidia 26 - 39 x 5 - 9 µm (Dm = 31 x 8 µm), thin-walled, equal to clavate, hyaline to pale yellow in KOH, yellow in Melzer's. Spores 14 - 19.5 x 4 - 5 µm (Dm = 17 x 5 µm; E = 2.8 - 5.0; Em = 3.5), elliptical to subfusiform, inequilateral by a shallow suprahilar depression and adaxial swelling, pale yellow-cinnamon with green refractile inclusions in KOH, yellow-rust (pale dextrinoid) in Melzer's; surface smooth, walls continuous, surrounded by a hyaline membrane (Fig. 8); in deposit "Russet", light brown.

Observations. The ixotrichodermium of the pileus, the equal cheilocystidia, and the long, narrow spores (Em = 3.5) clearly indicate this specimen as being very similar to B. conicus, T. venezuelae, B. violaceiporus, and P. viscidus; this taxon differs from the other taxa in this genus by the absence of pleurocystidia. Because this taxon belongs in the genus Mucilopilus, the following new combination is proposed.

Mucilopilus nothofagi (McNabb) Wolfe, comb. nov.
Basionym: Porphyrellus nothofagi McNabb. 1967. New Zealand J. Bot. 5(4): 543.

Type specimen (holotype):PDD -25184; on ground under Nothofagus menziesii; Otago District, Catlins, Puketiro Reserve; 29.iii.1966; coll and det. R.F.R. McNabb [!]
Fruitbody one. Pileus 2 x 0.4 cm, light yellow-brown, continuous, glabrous. Hymenium rust-brown. Stipe 4 x 0.3 cm, equal, smooth. Pileus cuticle a palisade ixotrichodermium; terminal cells 4 - 6.5 µm diam. (dm = 6.5 µm), equal, hyaline in KOH, yellow in Melzer's. Tube trama hyphae 2.5 - 8 µm diam. (d = 5 µm), boletoid, hyaline in KOH, yellow in Melzer's. Clamp connections absent. Basidia (19.5-) 26 - 34 x 8 - 10.5 µm (Dm = 30 x 9 µm), thin-walled, clavate to narrowly clavate to subequal, hyaline in KOH, yellow in Melzer's, some with a slight central constriction (Fig. 12). Pleurocystidia 52 - 65 x 13 - 17 µm (Dm = 58.5 x 13 µm), thin-walled, broadly fusoid ventricose, hyaline in KOH, yellow in Melzer's, rare (Fig. 13); cheilocystidia 23.5 - 37.5 x 5 - 9 (-11.5) µm (Dm = 32.5 x 8 µm), thin-walled, equal to subventricose to clavate, hyaline in KOH, yellow in Melzer's, in chains of 2 - 3 cells (Fig. 14); caulocystidia (19.5-) 26 - 35 (-39) x 5 - 8 µm (Dm = 30 x 6.5 µm), thin-walled, clavate, yellow in KOH, gold in Melzer's, some with a thick refractile apex. Spores 13 - 18 (-21) x 4 - 6.5 µm (Dm = 17 x 5 um; E = 2.8 - 3.7; Em = 3.2), fusoid,inequilateral by a distinct suprahilar depression and adaxial swelling, pale ochraceous green in KOH, pale yellow-rust (sub dextrinoid) in Melzer's (Fig. 15); surface smooth (Fig. 21), walls continuous, surrounded by a hyaline membrane.
Observations. The violet pallid color of the hymenophore is characteristic of this taxon. Since it belongs in the genus Mucilopilus, the following new combination is proposed.
Mucilopilus violaceiporus (Stevenson) Wolfe, comb. nov.
Basionym: Boletellus violaceiporus Stevenson. 1962. Kew Bull. 15(3): 384.
Type specimen (holotype): K - "Herb. Hort. Bot. Reg. Kew; Maitai, New Zealand; G.B.C. 1060; 29.4.1956." [!]
