Specimen notes
Public Note:
Growing in herb field alongside track. Not on wood. Fibrous cortina remains on stem. 4-spored (but with occasional giant spores indicating also 1,2). Spores with thick-wall and germ pore. Spores darkening in KOH and melzers. With occasional chrysocystidia (in KOH), and immature basidia also with patent-blue staining content. Stipitipellis of broad, glassy-walled hyphae, clamped, to 20um diam, with oleiferous yellow hyphae. Cutis partially gelatinised 20-30um thick, pigmented, over mosaic of broad irregular shaped glassy-walled cells. With yellow oleiferous elements in dermal layer. Cystidia like Horak's seen, but they aren't chrysocystidia. Both ITS & LSU indicate this is a species of Deconica in section chrysocystidiatae and is within clade e of Ramirez-Crus et al, 2013. Close (very) to D. novaezelandiae. If this is a alpine herbfield species then what is driving secotioid morphology. For alpine fleshy fruits it is aparrently lizards (Laura Young's work), and birds prefer red (Lee 1988).
