Notes

This species is recorded in Colenso (1886). A. vervacti is not uncommon in Europe and might be expected in grassland in New Zealand and if so can be recognised by the small basidiospores, ((6-)7.5-8.5(-9) x 4.5-6 µm) with a very small germ-pore, and the variable cheilocystidia often with a narrow neck and head. In stature and colour A. vervacti resembles Stropharia coronilla (Bull.: Fr.) Quel. but can be easily distinguished by the hymeniform pileipellis, lack of chrysocystidia and snuff brown not distinctly purple brown spore-print.
