Coprinus colensoi Berk. 1855

Fig. 4 The type specimen (BERKELEY 5293) is well preserved. The spores of this small Coprinus, only 1-2 cm high, measure 7-8 X 3.5-4 µ and have a broad apical germ-pore. The globular cells of the veil (20-50 µ diam.) on top of the pileus are densely but minutely warted. These peculiarities put C. colensoi into sect. Vestiti (Lange) Kuhner and Romagnesi.
