Notes

Fig. 1 Spore size and shape in the preserved material (COLENSO b 1124) do not agree with those known for this species in Europe, but undoubtedly the fungus belongs to the genus Entoloma (Fr.) Kummer.

Entoloma aethiops sensu G. Stev. 1962

Description

This species is described and illustrated by Bresadola, Icon. Mycol. 12, t. 569/2.
These four species [placidum, lampropodum, asprellum, aethiops] have not been collected recently in New Zealand and are not represented in my herbarium. As the material on which the determinations were made over fifty years ago no longer remains at Kew, some doubt may be entertained about the records till these species are collected again.
