Specimen notes
Public Note:
Stipe central to eccentric, gills thick & waxy, fragile, decurrent. In same border as 9486 but with thicker stem and blackish areas on cap and gills and cap much pinker. Has septate, filiform pleuro & cheilocystidia but no pseudocystidia. Spores are only slightly angular in polar view (so think Largent & Baroni's Lepista/Rhodocybe distinction isn't useful - but this is clearly a Rhodocybe), 7-8 x 5um, not cyanophilous (but a very few spores showing mottled appearance). No clamps in gill tissue. Spore print pink/buff. Horak would key to Stevenson's L. piperata on spores size and antipoda on stature. Spore colour is not noted by Stevenson or Horak (PDD specimens need sequencing - as does Stevenson's type in Kew). This taxon is in Baroni's section Rufrobrunnea if you consider the stipe to be central. A very robust Rhodocybe. I wonder how far these robust Rhodocybes are from roseiavellanus/truncata (see Mycologist v15, p4).
