[GS] Pileus 4-6 X 3-4 cm., pinkish fawn with or without green or grey tints, glistening viscid at first drying smooth and striate, orbicular with somewhat crenulate and waved margin. Gills adnate, concolorous, moderately distant. Stipe 5-8 X 4-5 mm., lateral, pinkish fawn, smooth. Spores 8-10 x 3-4um amyloid (Fig. 2/4, p. 37). Hymenophoral trama of mainly regular hyphae with clamp connections, including some thick-walled hyphae. Cuticle of loosely woven almost parallel thin-walled hyphae. HABITAT: on fallen wood, Mt. Egmont, 16.6.1948, Stevenson; & Leith Saddle, Dunedin, 20.6.1953, Stevenson (type). [EH] = Pleurotopsis subgrisea (Stevenson) Horak [JAC] In my opinion roseola and subgrisea are just colour variants of Scytinotis longuinquus. On the label Greta has written 'green-pink tint' contradicting the formal description, but adding to the view that colour is variable. Spores cylindrical, amyloid, collapsing. Hymeniium without observed cystidia. 4-spored. Tissue tough, not squashing easily.Context with thick-walled hyphae. Spores from gill length=6.6–9.7µm (µ=8.4, σ=0.82), width=3.1–4.0µm (µ=3.5, σ=0.26), Q=1.9–2.8µm (µ=2.41, σ=0.25), n=20. Petersen, for NZ collections of S. longuinquus measured 5.9-(6.6)-7.2 x 3.5-4 (Q=1.83), and 6.6-(7.53)-8.6 x 3.5-4.1 (Q=1.96). The Pacific coast collections with larger spores. By contrast P. stypticus has much smaller spores in the range 3-5 x 1.5-2.5.
