Descriptions

Anon.: NZFUNGI (unassigned reference).

Lichenomphalia Redhead, Lutzoni, Moncalvo & Vilgalys 2002

Notes

Small yellow or orange mushrooms common amongst moss in swampy areas. The smooth cap is characteristically sunken in centre, gills extending down stalk. No ring on stalk. Spore print white.

Lichenised, associated with an alga, although the algal partner is restricted to near the base of the stalk. Common in Sphagnum bogs, especially at high altitudes.

Other small, soil-inhabiting mushrooms with sunken caps and decurrent gills include Omphalina and Clitocybe. The various genera can be distinguished only using microscopic features.

Notes

Bright orange to yellow, Omphalina-like mushrooms (cap umbillicate, gills decurrent) common throughout New Zealand in sphagnum swamps. Thought to be lichenised. Two species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.
