Public Note:
Protologue: cap approx. 8 cm in diameter, fairly thick (7 mm at mid-radius); covering dry, small fibrillose apressed red-brown scales, appearing slightly purple on whitish background; margin clearly overhanging, irregularly appendiculate with remains of ring. Stipe Of approx. 5 cm X 5 mm, initially claviform and then cylindrcal, reaching 15 mm at the base (which is bulbous in the exsiccatum), white then Pinkish from the top which appears lustrous with white fibrils, flaky under ring, the basal flakes reddish ochre and forming one or two parallel lines around the stipe. Ring Membranous, fragile, hanging, smooth above, with fluffy ochre margin staining of ochre to the touch. Gills whitish then rose, finally chocolate brown. Flesh white or slightly pink, yellow under pileus coating, often pale orange at the base of the stipe, worm-holes ochre orange; odor weak, aniseed; sweet flavor, of walnuts. Spores very dark. Exsiccatum: cap brown to a little copper, yellowish stipe, yellowish flesh, dark brown lamellae; Efflorescences Very small and rare on the gills. KOH, HCl, NH4OH on fresh materila no reaction. Aniline x HNO3 +ve on exsciccatum. Spores (5.7) 6.1-7.2 (7.5) X 3.8-4.6 (5.0) um, ellipsoid or barely Oval, thin-walled; Very rudimentary pore formed by a thinning of the wall. Basides 4-spored, hyaline, claviform, rather broad at the base, 22-27 X 7 um. Cellular sub-hymenium, with elements of 7-12 μm diameter. Hyaline cheilocystidia with yellow incrustation, claviform, 16-22 X 7-9 um, or more often catenulate with elements of 8-16 X 6-11 um. Pleurocystidia none. Trama of elements 10-25 um diam. Piles covering with subparallel hyphae, in fascicles, cylindracal with thin and smooth walls, 5-12 (14) um diam, often a little restricted at the septa, especially towards the extremities; fairly frequent secondary septa; a few detersile elements; vacuolar pigment, dark brown in KOH (in fresh material).

Public Note:
A collection with a sequence identical to the isotype of A. horakianus ZT 69/194 has micro-characters that do not match Heinemann's description. This specimen, and PDD 27106 (as A. horakii) both need micro-details checking against that paper in case there has been a collection mix-up at some point. Does this have catenate cystidia (horakianus)? Or simple cystidia (horakii). [Nov. 2017]. The spores are pale to dark and thick-walled, without germ pores, not even a wall thinning: length=6.2-7.8µm (µ=6.9, σ=0.37), width=3.8-4.9µm (µ=4.3, σ=0.27), Q=1.5-1.8µm (µ=1.61, σ=0.09), n=20. The gill edge has a sterile band of hyphae with occasional hint of a catenate cystidium but far from convincing. The dried materail agrees with the Horak photo but does not agree with images of later collections with supposedly the same sequences. Something is wrong. The writing ion a det slip within the packet does indicate 69/194=pdd27102=A. bambusae var. australis.
