Lepiota purpurata (G. Stev.) E. Horak 1980

Collections Examined

Material. - New Zealand: Maungatua, 18. IV. 1953, STEVENSON-CONE, 881 (K, holotype).

Habitat

Habitat. - On soil among litter in forests. - New Zealand.

Illustrations

Illustrations. - STEVENSON (1962:1. c.); HORAK (1971; 1980b).

Notes

Remarks. - The pink and free lamellae are probably the reason why STEVENSON identified this species as a member of Pluteus FR. The spores are, however, distinctly dextrinoid and slightly spurred. The basidia are 4-spored, 16-20x4-5 µm. The type material is in rather bad condition and therefore the structure of the cuticle could not be fully revived. By all means cellular elements are absent, and the cylindric hyphae observed are encrusted with grey (KOH) pigment. Clamp connections not observed.
