Specimen notes
Public Note:
[GS] Growing on decaying wood lying on the ground in broadleaf-podocarp forest. Up to 20 mm in height. [JAC] frb branched, dark in lower portion, 4-spored, spores inamyloid to 16 x 6um. Hymenial cystidia both cylindrical and narrow subcapitate. Out of Ron Petersen's options for NZ species this would be closest to his concept of P. stipata (which is not Corner's original species) but there are too many differences. There are some Au records of 'P. stipata', presumably from IDs using Bruce Fuhrer's book, but they are a long way from either Petersen or Corner's, concept and doubtfully even a Pterula sp. [Nov 2017] this is the same as material ID by Dingley as Mucronella ulmi, shifted to Deflexula by Corner on the basis of dimitic tissue. This is monomitic. The spores are large, like Deflexula ulmi, but wrong Q (not the same as Dingley's colections). The sequence says it is a Pterula, close to P. echo, known only from culture and with smaller spores.
