The spores of this collection (SINCLAIR and HAAST 1860-61) measure 8.5-11 X 5.5-6.5 µ and are very similar in shape to those of European specimens. We suggest that C. fimetarius was accidentally introduced into New Zealand.
Pileus clavate, then conico-expanded, soon split and up-turned, greyish, apex tinged with brown, covered at first with white floccose scales, then naked and coarsely grooved, 2.5-5 cm. across, disc even, flesh thin; gills free, lanceolate, narrow, wavy, black; spores 12-14 x 7-8 µ; cystidia large, numerous; stem 10-15 cm. long, white, apex downy, squamulose below, hollow except the thickened base.
Canterbury Province, Middle Island, New Zealand. Australia, Europe, Siberia, United States.
On manure-heaps, dung, &c.
Solitary, or usually clustered, soon splitting, curling up and deliquescing into a black, dripping liquid, leaving the stems standing.
