Pholiota adiposa sensu Massee 1899 [1898]
Fig. 1 Microscopical characteristics of the preserved material (COLENSO 368) agree closely with those of Pholiota aurivella (Fr.) Kummer. I am inclined to regard this fungus as an adventitious species.
Pholiota adiposa sensu Massee 1899 [1898]
Pileus convex, obtuse, then expanding, glutinous, yellow,. with superficial concentrically arranged seceding darker squarrose scales, 5-12 cm. across; flesh whitish, compact at the disc; gills adnate, 6-8 mm. broad, yellow, then rusty-orange; spores elliptical, rusty-orange, 7 x 3 µ; stem 7-12 cm. long, up to 2 cm. thick, base somewhat bulbous, remainder more orless equal throughout, yellow, ornamented with concentrically arranged rusty-orange evanescent scales up to the superior, floccose, radiating ring, stuffed.
Cape Turnagain, Northern Island, New Zealand. Europe, United States.
On decaying parts of trees.
A very showy fungus when.well grown. Usually caespitose, and forming large clusters. Distinguished by the glutinous. pileus and stem, both of which are at first ornamented with rusty-orange or ferruginous squarrose or spreading scales. The scales appear eventually to deliquesce in the gluten, which is washed away in rainy weather, leaving the .pileus and stem naked. In dry weather the pileus is shiny, due to the dried gluten. Poisonous.
