Naucoria fraterna sensu Massee 1899 [1898]

Notes

Fig. 10 The microscopical characters of this collection (COLENSO b 500) in some respects resemble those of Hypholoma acutum (Cooke) Horak, but the material is not sufficiently well preserved to allow positive identification. It should be mentioned that the type of N. fraterna comes from Australia. The species was transferred to Laccaria by Pegler (1965).

Readily recognised by the caespitose or tufted habit of growth, and in growing on stumps. Both these characters are unusual in the genus Naucoria.
