Specimen notes
Public Note:
[GS] Growing on rotten wood at the base of a dead tree in native forest. Caps to 35 mm across, covered in grey fibres which extend slightly beyond the cap margin, centre of cap darker with a small umbo. Gills pink, crowded, free. Stems translucent whitish with a blue-grey tinge in the central and lower parts. I returned to the site and managed to carefully extract 3 younger fruit bodies growing in a crevice in the tree trunk and, yes, they do each have a basal volva (see extra photo added). So I guess that means they are Volvariella. They are smaller and look somewhat different to the other grey Volvariella found in the same bush. [JAC] from material: spores 6x3 smooth, cheilocystidia clavate, variable. Cap and stipe smooth - so not Horak's NZ version of V. hypopithys. Presumably related to V. caesiotincta, but that with tomentose cap centre. Changed my mind - the photos show distinct fibres.
