Specimen notes
Public Note:
[GC] Description: Pilei annual; scattered, waxy, brittle, copulate, 0.5-0.75 mm. diameter, attached by a narrow base; exterior white, tomentum composed of tortuous aseptate thick-walled branched hyphae, 5 µ diameter, with lumen almost obliterated, coated with coarse deciduous crystals, terminating in long, gradually tapering spirally coiled naked apices; margins inturned, lacerate when old; hymenial surface concave, buff or honey-coloured. Context white, to 50 µ thick, to 300 µ at the base, of parallel radiately arranged hyphae; generative hyphae to 3.5 µ diameter, wall 0.25 µ thick, sparsely branched, septate. Hymenial layer to 40 µ deep, paraphyses subclavate. Basidia subclavate, 16-20 x 5-6 µ, 4-spored. Spores fusiform-elliptical, apex rounded, base pointed and apiculate, 7-8 x 3-3.5 µ, smooth, hyaline. Notes: In general appearance C. tongariro and C. pseudopanax resemble one another, but may be separated by the different spores and tomentum. Hairs of C. tongariro are branched, thick-walled, long-acuminate and terminate in whip-like coiled tendrils. The basal part is coated with coarse crystals, the apical naked. Both also show a general resemblance to C. villosa, differing mainly in the markedly distinct tomentum and different spores. Habitat: HABITAT. Scattered on bark of dead twigs. [Agerer] distinguished within Flagelloscypha by hairs with unevenly thickened walls and circinate. [JAC] The fruitbodies are on a relatively intact twig with moss. No subiculum. The cups do seem to be noticeably cinnamon. The hairs are very circinate and some do have an unequally thick wall in the lower part. The material appears to be immature and I can find no convincing spores (a couple much broader than either GC or Agerer). Agerer measured them to be 8.5-9.5 x 4-5 and asymmetrical oval-elliptic
