Specimen notes
Public Note:
[WMD] This Pluteus had a very velvety convex cap which was light tan in colour with a paler margin. The gills were creamy-pink with a concolorous gill edge. The stipe was a very light creamy-tan and was pruinose expecially towards the base. This cap was 2.3 cm in diameter and 3 cm in height. Growing amongst moss on the bark of a small fallen branch. Remnant mature coastal broadleaf forest. This looks to be another different species of Pluteus for this reserve. The cap cells are reminiscent of Pluteus decoloratus in shape (but Pluteus decoloratus cap cells are smaller in size). The cap is more tan than this species. The pleurocystidia are distinctive and this species could be the basis for the illustration of the unusual pleurocystidia "constricted towards apex with distinctive ‘pinhead’, capitate, finger-like or lobate projections" described by Horak under Pluteus readiarum. This species doesn't look anything like Pluteus readiarum otherwise. My first thought when I saw the very velvety cap and stipe was perhaps Pluteus sabulosus but it doesn't really match the micro description for this. The spores are quite large for Pluteus, about 8-8.5 x 7 micron.
