Hebeloma strophosum sensu Massee 1899 [1898]

Hebeloma strophosum (Fries) Fig. 25 = Agrocybe sp.

The characters of a collection under this name at Kew ("New Zealand") indicate that this material is not a Hebeloma. Because of the still visible ring and smooth spores with a broad germ pore, this fungus is placed in Agrocybe. In the absence of data on the colour and other ephemeral characters of fresh carpophores, a reliable identification cannot be made.

Hebeloma strophosum sensu Massee 1899 [1898]

Pileus subglobose, soon expanding and becoming convexo-plane and rather umbonate, fragile, viscid when wet, disc dark-tan, even, margin pale and silky from the remains of the veil, but not squamulose, 1.5-3 cm. across; flesh rather thin, watery; gills slightly adnexed, ventrieose, 4-8 mm. broad, pallid, then dingy - cinnamon; spores - 7-8 x 4 µ; stem 2.5.-5 cm. long, hollow, about 6 mm. thick, equal, fragile, pallid and becoming brownish downwards, adpressedly silky,, with a more or less perfect silky ring near the apex.
Wairarapa, Northern Island, New Zealand. Europe.
Grassy spots.
Distinguished more especially by the hollow stem, which is not rooting, and the silky ring very near to the apex of the stem.
