Agaricus stuppeus Berk. 1855

Description

Agaricus (Hypholoma) stuppeus, Berk.; pileo carnoso convexo expanso squamis e pilis fasciculatis stuppeis strigoso, stipite basi incrassato fibrilloso, lamellis umbrinis adnexis. HAB . On the ground, Colenso. Pileus 2 inches or more broad, fleshy, convex, expanded, clothed, especially towards the margin, with towy fasciculato-fibrous scales. Stem 1.5 inch high, 1/3 of an inch or more thick, fibrillose, incrassated at the base, and attached to the soil by abundant mycelium. Gills crowded, moderately broad, adnexed, umber. Closely allied to A. lacrymabundus and A. velutinus, but distinguished by the abundant fascicles of fibres with which the pileus is clothed.

Agaricus lepiotiformis Cooke & Massee 1890

Latin

Agaricus (Stropharia) lepiotaeformis, Cke. & Mass.
Pileo carnoso, campanulato, obtuse umbonato (2-3 unc. diam.), albido-ochraceo, squamis innatis ornato, margine tenui, flocculoso ; stipite cavo, aequali, albido, glabro (3 in. long 1/3 unc. crass), annulo tenui, fugaci, lamellis rotundato-adnatis, antice attenuatis, subconfertis, brunneo-fuscis. Sporis amygdaloideis, 8-10 x 5 µ.

Typification

On the ground. New Zealand. (Berggren 39.)

Hypholoma stuppeum (Berk.) Sacc. 1887

Notes

The type material (COLENSO 1264) is not only mouldy, but also has been attacked by insects, so that it was not possible to examine any microscopical structures. Under these circumstances the systematic position of this species cannot be resolved.

Stropharia lepiotiformis (Cooke & Massee) Sacc. 1891

Notes

Stropharia lepiotaeformis Cooke and Massee (7 D) Fig. 14 = Lacrymaria sp. (= Str. lepiotoides C.&M., in herb.)

The type collection (BERGGREN 39) is in fragmentary condition. Careful examination showed that the black coloured spores are coarsely warted, with a prominent plage and mucronate germ pore, 10-12 X 6.5-7.5 µ. Some cylindrical or subfusoid cheilocystidia with inflated apices were also observed (55-65 X 10 µ). These peculiarities place this agaric in the genus Lacrymaria Patouillard. Unfortunately two problems remained unresolved. The first is whether this particular New Zealand form should be regarded as an independent species. During our collecting trips in New Zealand, we collected on two occasions a species closely related to L. velutina (S. F. Gray). In both cases the fungus grew along roadsides. The second unresolved problem is whether the fungus is introduced or indigenous.

Hypholoma stuppeum (Berk.) Sacc. 1887

Description

Pileus convex, then expanding until almost plane, rather fleshy, tawny or brownish, shaggy, especially towards the margin, with spreading, crowded, pointed scales, each consisting of a fascicle of hyphae, 4-6 cm. broad; gills adnexed, crowded, thin, umber-brown; spores obliquely pip-shaped, brownish, 7 x 4 µ; stem 2-3 cm. long, nearly 1 cm. thick, fibrillose, becoming smooth, thickened at the base; and attached to the soil by a copious development of mycelium:

Distribution

New Zealand.

Habitat

On the ground.

Notes

Allied to the European species Hypholoma velutinus, H. lacrymabundus, and H. pyrotrichus, but differing from all in the tomentum of the pileus being in the form of shaggy, fibrous scales. Type specimen examined.
