Clitocybe nothofaginea G. Stev. 1964

Description (NZ)

[GS] Pileus 2-4-5 cm. diam., ochraceous, waxy, hemispherical, umbilicate to infundibuliform with an opening to stem cavity; flesh thin, pale ochraceous. Gills decurrent, creamy to pale ochraceous, thin, moderately crowded to moderately distant, long and short intercalated. Stipe 2-3.5 cm - X 2 -5 mm tapering to base, hollow, rather fragile to somewhat tough, creamy to ochraceous, silky striate to velutinate. Spores 5-6 X 3-3.5um, non-amyloid, oblong ovoid, thin-walled, smooth (Fig. 1/9, p. 10). Sour smell. HABITAT : under Nothofagus and other trees, strongly attached by mycelium to litter, 29.4.1956, Stevenson (type); Nelson, 14.6.1956 & 20.6.1956, D. Read. [EH] as Omphalina nothofaginea. Cuticle consisting of cylindrical, non-gelatinised, clampless hyphae forming a cutis, with epimembranous pigment. Spores oval, hyaline, neither amyloid nor dextrinoid, smooth, 5-6 X 3-4 um. Cystidia none. [JAC] Separable pellicle when rehydrated with NH4OH. Cutis clamped. Epimembranous pigment absent. With spherical vesicles. Spores (including apiculus) length=4.9–6.2µm (µ=5.6, σ=0.39), width=3.2–4.0µm (µ=3.7, σ=0.22), Q=1.4–2.0µm (µ=1.54, σ=0.13), n=20. Clearly the same as C. (Singerocybe) clitocyboides and a later synonym. The collection is not mixed and all forms in the sample have clamps and vesicles. It will be worth checking the type of Leucopaxillus otagoensis to ensure there was not a switch of Egon's notes associated with the two species.

Leucopaxillus otagoensis G. Stev. 1964

Notes

[GS] Pileus 2-4 cm. diam., ochraceous salmon, infundibuliform with downrolled margin, smooth, silky; flesh whitish. Gills decurrent, pale ochraceous, shallow, rather crowded, repeatedly forking. Stipe 1-3 cm. x 3-4 mm., pale ochraceous salmon, smooth to velvety with a weft of hyphae at the base, solid, fleshy. Spores 6-8 X 3-4um, amyloid (Fig. 1/39, p. 10). HABITAT: in forest soil, Woodside, Dunedin, 1.7.1953, M. Morrison in Stevenson (type). [EH] = Clitocybe clitocyboides (Cooke and Massee) Pegler, 1965. It is difficult to see why this fungus was originally described in Leucopaxillus for apart from the decurrent gills, it has nothing in common with that genus. C. clitocyboides closely resembles C. hydrogramma (Fries) Singer even to the distinct chlamydospores. [JAC] Spores inamyloid. Cap vesicles typical of Singerocybe clitocyboides are confirmed present. Without doubt this species. Spores from gill length=6.1–8.4µm (µ=7.5, σ=0.67), width=3.2–4.7µm (µ=4.1, σ=0.34), Q=1.4–2.1µm (µ=1.83, σ=0.17), n=20

It is difficult to see why this fungus was originally described in Leucopaxillus for apart from the decurrent gills, it has nothing in common with that genus. C. clitocyboides closely resembles C. hydrogramma (Fries) Singer even to the distinct chlamydospores embedded between hyphae of the cuticle. All characters of the N.Z. species correspond well with those of the type from Australia.
