Lepiotula purpurata (G. Stev.) E. Horak 1971

Description

Pluteus purpuratus Stevenson (26D) Fig. 22 = Lepiotula purpurata (Stevenson) comb. nov. (Basionym: P. purpuratus Stevenson, Kew Bull. 16: 73, 1962)

Spores dextrinoid, indistinctly spurred, smooth, germ pore none, 5.5-6 X 3.5-4 µ. Cheilo- and pleurocystidia not observed (type material in fragmentary condition). The dimensions of the spores given by Stevenson are based on measurements of alien Psathyrella spores. The free gills were obviously the reason for assigning the fungus to Pluteus.
