Specimen notes
Public Note:
Gills and flesh exuding milky latex. Smell fruity. Fruitbodies very large, leathery, taste soapy. Gills maze-like. No reaction with alkali. Dimitic, no tissue amyloid/dextrinoid. Spores globose with amyloid warts? Spores length=6.4–7.7µm (µ=7.1, σ=0.5), width=5.3–7.0µm (µ=6.1, σ=0.6), Q=1.1–1.4µm (µ=1.2, σ=0.1), n=9. Spores measured again ... length=6.1–7.7µm (µ=6.9, σ=0.33), width=4.9–6.3µm (µ=5.9, σ=0.32), Q=1.1–1.3µm (µ=1.17, σ=0.05), n=20.Cap a trichoderm of yellow, glassy-walled septate hyphae. Not as thick walled as agathis taxon (B. propria), but differences are marginal. Sequences show that we have at least two species in NZ and that the use of the name B. berkeleyi is confused. It does seem likely there is a major gymnosperm/angiosperm split. That is based on the China B. podocarpi tree. Their B. ‘montana’ (=B. mesenterica) comes from US (probably oak), and their B. ‘berkeleyi’ from China (probably not ok).
