Specimen notes
Public Note:
[McNabb] #125, painting K13. Holotype. Pilues: 6cm diam. convex with slightly depressed centre, viscid, smooth, innately pruinose under lens, no velar remnants, bright red 10A7-B7. Gills: crowded, pure white, not unfolded properly, to 10mm deep, adnate. Stipe: 5.5cm long, slightly tapering basally, 1.8cm diam. apically to 1.4cm basally, solid, dry, smooth, finley innately longitudinally striate, pure white, annulus absent. Flesh pure white. Context of pileus: pure white, unchanging. Smell: ? Taste: gills - not distinctive, context - not distinctive. Chemical reactions: Formalin - n.r. Phenol - slowly deep vinaceous. FeS04 - nothing distinctive. Guaiacol on stipe base - n.r. KOH on pileus - clearing red colour and leaving pale orange. KOH on context - slight yellowing. NH4OH on pileus - faint purplish flush. NH4OH on context - n.r. Habitat: in pairs under N. menziesii, Nelson, Karamea, Umere, 8/1/08. Coll. R.F.R. McNabb. Note: red pigment easily soluble. [Cooper] DCY SV-ve - no granules, existing red pigment dissolving. Cuticle appears to consiste of a granular layer 100um over a cutis of thin hyphae. Red pigment in flakes (in KOH). No sign of pilocystidia in KOH - refractive or otherwise. Spores length=7.6–9.0µm (µ=8.3, σ=0.40), width=5.5–7.1µm (µ=6.2, σ=0.42), Q=1.2–1.5µm (µ=1.34, σ=0.08), n=20, ornamentation to 0.9um. A higher Q than found by Teresa. Spores without plage but with weak violet amyloid spot. Macrocystidia and basidia not seen - collapsed - but see Teresa's paper. Note that McNabb in paper mentions similarity with R. vivida except that with pilocystidia, - verfied.
