Specimen notes
Public Note:
Smell strong of malathion (insecticide). Very mealy smell when cut, and extremely mealy to the taste - overpowering. Cap sticky when wet. With superior ring zone. Cap a clamped cutis, perhaps partailly gelatinised. No cystidia. No tissue amyloid or dextrinoid. Spores spherical, with distinct apiculus, 4-spored, minutely asperulate. Spores on stipe and cap red-dextrinoid, but hyaline on gills (cf Rhodocollybia reaction). Catatrama costaricensis is described with inamyloid spores (and a subsequent descriptions as amyloid?). However, Limacella singaporeana and L. asperulospora (asperospora) are descrbed with asperulate spores, and Neville & Poumarat discuss the visbility of spore ornamentation and the thick spore wall (L. furnacea, subfurnacea, illinita, glischra). C. costaricensis is perhaps better considered a Limacella (the genbank sequence, DAOM211663, is the type of C. costaricensis). Key differences from the protologue of Catatrama are cyanophilic spores and absence of acrophysalides in stipe tissue. This has clear acrophysalides in stem tissue, and numerous oleiferous hyphae. Trama is bilateral. Reexamination of the type of L. wheroparaonea shows it to have identical finely asperulate spores and no cystidia. Current sequences indicate we have perhaps two species of Limacella of which this is one, and has a variable pileus colour and texture. Currently I can find no consistent features to separate the two species or either of those and L. whereoparaonea. Pileus colour suggests this is L. w. The Australian NT collections in Genbank (GB556, 595) have a relatively pronouced spore ornamentation and are in the same LSU group with C. costaricenisis, but all sit within Limacella, unless it is broken up into at least three genera.
