Collybia readiae G. Stev. 1964

K(m) 235264, Stevenosn 1047. Basidia with siderophilous granules. Spores length=4.5–5.3µm (µ=4.9, σ=0.20), width=2.4–3.5µm (µ=2.8, σ=0.27), Q=1.5–2.2µm (µ=1.75, σ=0.18), n=28. Stipe smooth. Sub-pellis with inflated elements. Suprapellis an interwoven clamped cutis with occasional gloeoplerous hyphae. . This material agrees with Calocybe carenum, known from NZ in introduced habitats, and this was from the grounds of the Cawthron Institute in Nelson.
