Identification type:
Determination
Note:
M. atrocyanea ss is probably an Entoloma. This material is certainly a Mycena with strongly amyloid spores 10 x 5um. However the material is very badly attacked by Aspergillus (including perfect state!), and no other characters were found. Tall thin mycena, in dried material stem is 7cm x 1mm, and cap to 1.5cm. This must have been a black Mycena near M. leucogala, which I have not come across, or perhaps M. atroincrustata sensu Horak. For Grgurinovic that distinguished by incrusting pigment, but that seem to be Horak's sense who emphasizes intracellular pigent. M. atroincrustata sensu NZ probably 'ahuriri'. Colenso's notes indicate it was growing on wood of Parsonsia.
