Collections Examined

VICTORIA. Apollo Bay, Great Ocean road, Maits Rest, hypogeal at base of Eucalyptus regnans, 22 Oct. 1981, K. & G. Beaton 27; 17 July 1982, G. Weste, K. & G. Beaton 31.

Description

Gasterocarp 0.5-2.5 cm diam., subglobose, ellipsoid or irregularly turbinate, depressed around the basal attachment, very occasionally with an exposed gleba. Peridium white when fresh, drying greyish orange, farinose to sub-tomentose, smooth finally wrinkled. Gleba white, cream coloured or pale ochraceous, labyrinthoid, of minute, elongated or irregular, empty chambers, 2-4 per mm, with some radial and concentric arrangement. Tramal plates very thin, 75-100 µm thick, consisting of a narrow hymenophoral trama, lacking sphaerocytes, and moderately well developed subhymenial layers. Columella absent or sometimes poorly developed; sterile base minute. Latex and laticiferous elements absent. Spore deposit pale cream coloured. Spores 7-10 x 7-9(9 ± 0^.4 x 8-5 ± 0-3) µm (excl. orn.), Q= 1.05; orthotropic, globose or nearly so, hyaline, thin-walled, with an ornamentation of hollow, tapering spines, with rounded apices, often coalescing at their bases but without connectives, strongly amyloid; hilar appendix short, 1-1.5 x 0.5-1 µm, cylindric or obconical, with a terminal hilar tear. Basidia 25-37 x 9-11 µm, ventricose-clavate, bearing 2 or 4 slender sterigmata. Leptocystidia present, voluminous, 50-80 x 17-35 µm, ovoid-pedicellate to short lageniform with a broadly rounded apex, and few contents. Hymenophoral trama narrow, more or less regular, of parallel, filamentous hyphae, 2.5-6.5 µm diam. Subhymenial layer 11-16 µm broad, pseudoparenchymatous. Peridiopellis a stratified epithelium, up to 200 µm thick, of agglutinated sphaerocytes, 15-40 µm diam. (Fig. 4 D-G, Pl. 25 K-Q).

Notes

A small hypogeal species, growing in scattered groups, which was originally described from New Zealand. The amyloid, orthotropic spores place this species in Elasmomycetaceae, whilst the absence of sphaerocytes in the hymenophoral trama, together with the spinose spore ornamentation, and the voluminous leptocystidia indicate Martellia to be the most appropriate genus.

Octaviania redolens G. Cunn. 1942

Description

Plants subglobose or tuberiform, white or cream coloured; becoming pallid ochraceous, 0.5-2.5 cm. diameter. Peridium exteriorly slightly tomentose, finely wrinkled or smooth, to 450 µ thick, composed of a single layer of hyaline, woven, non-gelatinized hyphae. Gleba pallid ochraceous, cells compressed, two or more to millimetre, empty; sterile base absent; tramal plates 75 x 100 µ thick, of woven hyphae, not gelatinized, fragile, scissile, especially at the gussets; basidia one-spored. Spores globose or subglobose, 14-22 µ diameter (including spines), apedicellate, epispore hyaline, 2 µ thick, closely covered with narrowly wedge-shaped spines, acuminately pointed, basally often merging and giving to the spore a reticulated appearance, to 4.5 µ long and hyaline.

Latin

Figura subglobosa. vel tuberiformis, alba vel cremes, demum pallide- ochracea, 0.5-2.5 mm. diam. Peridium leviter tomentosum, ad 450 µ crassum, hyphis hyalinis testis. Gleba pallide ochracea, cellulis compressis, 0.3-0.5 mm. diam. Tramarum laminae 75-100 % crassum, hyphis testis, scissiles ; basidium 1-sporam gerens. Sporae globose vel subglobosae, 14-22 µ diam (cum spinulis) ; episporium hyalinum, 2 µ crassum, dense echinulatum, spinulis hyalinis ad 4.5 µ longis.

Notes

When freshly collected the species had a pleasant fragrant smell resembling dried apricots. It is separated from others of the genus present in New Zealand by the single woven layer of the peridium, monosporous basidia and large spores with thick epispore and strongly developed echinulations. Specimens were collected among debris on the forest floor adjoining tracks in rain forest at the base of Mt. Te Aroha.

Habitat

HABITAT AND DISTRIBUTION: Hypogeous, growing in scattered groups among leaf litter in Nothofagusfusca, N. solandrii, and N. menziesii forests andLeptospermum scoparium or Kunzea ericoides scrub. Fruiting period Mar-Nov.

Notes

NOTES: Gymnomyces redolens is widely distributed in New Zealand. It differs from other New Zealand taxa in the robust spiny-reticulate ornamentation of the spores, and the mono- or bi-sterigmate basidia.The nomenclatural history of this species is given in Lebel & Castellano (2002).
