Notes

Fig. 7 A well developed annulus can still be observed on the carpophores of this collection (N.Z.), but the spores are definitely different from those of Agrocybe erebia. They have an obvious germ-pore, are thick-walled and measure 8.5-10 X 5.5-6.5 µ.

Pholiota erebia (Fr.) Gillet 1874

Description

Pileus convex, then flattened, glabrous, rather viscid, hygrophanous, margin striate, umber, often with an olivaceous tinge, ochraceous-tan and often rugulose or wrinkled when dry, 2.5-5 cm. across; flesh thin, dingy; gills adnate, rather distant, about 4 mm. broad, pallid, then dingy-cinnamon; spores elliptical, 10-12 x 4-6 µ; stem about 5 cm. long, 6-8 mm. thick, equal, somewhat striate, soon pale, hollow; ring, superior, soon pendulous, with the margin upturned, more or less striate.

Distribution

Ahuriri, Northern Island, New Zealand. Australia, Europe.

Notes

Distinguished by the dark-umber colour of the pileus when moist and the superior ring. The pileus is sometimes more or less umbonate, at others slightly depressed; somewhat fragile.
