Descriptions
Holotype (K): 'Lake Rotoiti, N.Z.; leg. E. Kidson in Stevenson (1088), 16.V.1956'. - Herb. HK. ZT 67/224: 'Kopara, Ngahere, Prov. Westcoast, N.Z.; leg. Horak, 8.XII.1967'. - Herb. HK. ZT 68/474: 'Puponga, Prov. Nelson, N.Z.; leg. Horak, 16.V.1968'. - Herb. HK. ZT 69/190: 'Esk Burn, South Arm, Lake Te Anau, Fjordland, N.Z.; leg. Horak, 28.III.1969'.
Pileus 5-25 mm diam., hemispherical becoming umbilicate, egg yellow to lemon yellow or chrome yellow, fading to yellowish, glutinous, hygrophanous, striated at the margin, membranaceous. Lamellae broadly adnate to decurrent, concolorous with pileus, fading in age, distant, gill edge darker coloured, gelatinous thread present. Stipe 20-40 x 2-3(4) mm, cylindric, equal or attenuated below concolorous with pileus, but orange at the base, very glutinous throughout its entire length, hollow, single or fasciculate. Context yellow. Taste and odor not distinctive. Chemical reactions on pileus: KOH and HCl- negative. Spores 7-9.5 x 4-6 µm, ellipsoid, smooth, inamyloid. Basidia 30-47 x 6-7 µm, 4 spored. Cheilocystidia conspicuous, forming a gelatinous thread, terminal elements 30-50 x 2-6 µm, cylindric to clavate, hyaline, membrane strongly gelatinized, occasionally yellow plasmatic pigment present. Pleurocystidia absent. Cuticle a cutis of initially suberect later repent, gelatinized, hyaline hyphae (2-8µm diam.). Clamp connections numerous on cuticular hyphae.
On soil under Nothofagus spp. and Leptospermum spp. New Zealand.
Stevenson 1962: Fig. 2/19; Pl. 8/3.
Undoubtedly this species has close relationships to H. octayensis Singer (1962). Both taxa are deep yellow coloured and the pileus and stipe are coated with a glutinous layer; however, the Chilean species is of smaller size and the spores measure about 8.5-10 x 4.5-5.5 µm.
SPECIMENS: NZ: NA, Warkworth, Dome, ZT 891; Waipoua, Yakas Track, ZT 1132. - WL, Ngahere, Nelson Creek, Kopara, ZT 67/224. - N, Puponga, ZT 68/474. - SL, Te Anau, Esk Burn (South arm of Lake Te Anau), ZT 69/190.
Pileus -30 mm, hemispherical to convex finally umbilicate at centre; yolk-yellow to lemon-yellow or chrome-yellow, fading to yellowish with age; glutinous, hygrophanous, striate at margin, membranaceous. - lamellae 8-16 (1 -3) broadly adnate to decurrent or arcuate; concolorous with pileus fading with age, edges greyish due to gelatinous, separable thread. - Stipe 20-45 x 2-3 (-4) mm, cylindrical, equal or attenuated below, occasionally with swollen base; concolorous with pileus, turning orange at base in aged specimens; very glutinous, hollow, single or caespitose. -Context yellow, waxy. - Odour and taste not distinctive or slightly unpleasant. - Chemical reactions on pileus: KOH, HCI - negative. Spores 6.5-9.5 x 4-5.5 um, ellipsoid. - Basidia 30-55 x 5-7 um, 4-spored. – Cheilocystidia conspicuous, 30-50 x 2-6 um, with cylindrical to clavate terminal cells, membrane hyaline, strongly gelatinised, occasionally with yellow plasmatic pigment. - Pleurocystidia absent. - Pileipellis an ixocutis of suberect, cylindrical hyphae (2-8 um diam.), membrane strongly gelatinised, with plasmatic pigment; clamp connections present (Pl. 1, Fig. 6).
DISTRIBUTION: NZ (NA, N, WL, SL).
ECOLOGY: Common; saprobic on soil among litter under Nothofagus (fusca, menziesii, solandri var. cliffortioides), Kunzea ericoides, Leptospermum scoparium or in broadleaved-conifer forests (Metrosideros umbellata, Podocarpus hallii, Dacrydium cupressinum), rarely on rotten wood. December-June.
ICON.: Stevenson (1962: 283); Horak (1973: 167).
TYPE: NZ: N, Lake Rotoiti, under Nothofagus sp., 16 v 1956, Stevenson, K 1088.
[Notes from Kew Type specimen, PRJ 2010] Other Stevenson collections in K, GS 639, 1363
Pileus 0.5-1.5 cm- diam., lemon chrome, striate at edge, very slimy, hemispherical to umbilicate; flesh pale yellow. Gills decurrent, yellow, moderately distant, thick. Stipe 2-4 cm, X 2-4 mm., bright yellow, very slimy, solid or slightly hollow at base. Spores 9-11 X 5-6 µm, oblong, hyaline, Basidia 30-35 X 5-6 µm, four-spored.
habitat: On mossy banks, Wellington, 12.6.1949, Stevenson; Rotoiti, 16.5.1956, E. Kidson, Otari, 7.6.1958, Stevenson.
Pileus 0.5-1.5 cm. diam., chromolimoneus, ad marginem striatus, eximie, viscidus, ex hemisphaerico umbilicatus; came luteola. Lamellae decurrentes luteae, modice distantes, crassae. Stipes 2-4 cm. X 2-4 mm., vivide luteus, viscidus, solidus vel basi vix cavus. Sporae 9-11 X 5-6 µm., oblongae, hyalinae.
In general appearance this species resembles H. vitellinus Fr. sensu Bresadola, but the spores are quite different. It is close to H. citrina var. glutinipes Lange, but has larger spores and lacks orange colour.
Typus: Stevenson 1088.
