Collections Examined

Holotype (PDD 27068); Isotype (Herb. HK. ZT 68/343): 'Mt. Robert, Lake Rotoiti, Prov. Nelson, N.Z.: leg. Horak, 2.V.1968'.

Description

Gastrocarp 20-35 x 15-20 mm, initially globose becoming subglobose, finally irregularly tuberiform, peridium 1-2 mm diam., ochraceous or pallid brownish with reddish tints, radially fibrillose or tomentose, dry, margin of peridium attached to the stipe and covered with ochraceous remnants of the veil. Gleba loculate, cells irregularly arranged, 1-2 mm diam., rust brown, penetrated by whitish or brownish tramal plates, never exposed. Stipe 10-20 x 1-3[(-15) at the base)] mm, turbinate or marginate, margin of base attached to the margin of peridium and connected (in young carpophores) with the hyphae of the veil at least, the button-like lower parts of the stipe extending as a rudimentary columella or few branches of the tramal plates into the gleba, concolorous with peridium, dry. Context whitish turning brownish. Odor intensely like anis-seed. Taste not distinctive. Chemical reactions on peridium: KOH - brown; HCl or NH₃ - negative.
Spores 11-13 x 6.5-7.5 µm, elliptic, minutely verrucose, warts coarser towards the apex, perisporium absent, ferruginous. Basidia 35-45 x 8 µm, 4-spored. Cystidia absent. Epicutis consisting of cylindric, thin-walled, not gelatinised hyphae forming a cutis, encrusted with yellow-brown pigment, clamp connections present.

Habitat

On ground amongst litter of Nothofagus cliffortioides, N. menziesii and N. fusca. New Zealand.
