Pholiota praecox sensu E. Horak 1971

Pholiota praecox (Fries) (6) = Agrocybe praecox (Fries) Fayod The collection (COLENSO b 283) contains a single, immature carpophore but all found characters correspond well with those of the type. It has probably been introduced from overseas.

Agrocybe praecox sensu E. Horak 1971

Leucoagaricus holosericeus (Fries) Moser apud Gams

As Agaricus praecox, in field, Napier, Colenso, b 283 and retained there by Horak (197ib) but we differ in our interpretation of the material. The basidiospores are metachromatic, dextrinoid (9.5-10.5 x 6 µm) and the cheilocystidia characterise a member of the L. naucina group. Parallel species are known from New Zealand and they may well have been introduced; they are generally more frequent in countries with warmer climates. A collection has been located in PDD (40317) filed under Armillaria.
