Specimen notes
Public Note:
[GC] subiculum annual, white, arachnoid, of a few repent hyphae, forming irregular areas to 7 x 3 cm. Pilei closely aggregated but remaining distinct, at first globose, becoming cupulate, ceraceous, brittle, white, drying white, 0-1-0-25 mm diameter, seated upon narrow bases; pileus surface coarsely strigose with erect abhymenial hairs reaching a length of 130 um, tapering from inflated bases (to 10 um) to long-acuminate apices, walls hyaline, to 3 um thick at bases, 0-5 um near apices, finely and closely crystal encrusted; margin erect and fimbriate. Context delicate, white, to 20 um thick, of closely compacted parallel hyphae; generative hyphae 2-2.5 um diameter, walls 0.2 um thick, hyaline. Hymenial layer to 35 um deep, a close palisade of basidia and paraphyses. Basidia clavate, 22-30 x 10-12 um, bearing 4 spores; sterigmata arcuate, to 5 um long. Paraphyses clavate, 16-22 x 7-9 um. Spores elliptical, slightly obovate with oblique apiculi, or a few subfusiform, 11-14 x 6-7-5 um, walls smooth, hyaline, 0.1 um thick. [Agerer] Agerer did not receive whole specimen and did not confirm the subiculum. He said differs from L. subiculosa in having hairs of two types, one with large crystals and different spore shape. The squat basidia also suggestive of Sphaerobasidioscypha. [JAC] There is no sign of a subiculum, arachnoid or not. Thicker hairs are somewhat dextrinoid. Spores (including apiculus) length=13.1–18.2µm (µ=14.6, σ=1.39), width=7.1–9.6µm (µ=8.1, σ=0.76), Q=1.4–2.2µm (µ=1.80, σ=0.20), n=20. Two kinds of hair ornamentation confirmed (like F. pseudopanax)
