Specimen notes
Public Note:
mauve colour. Single. Tasteless. 4-spored, monomitic, unclamped, smooth spored 7 x 5 - but only found 1 spore - immature material. Immature basidium (cystidium?) 30 x 10. Subviolacea, taxon 4 and roseo-violacea all seem a bit too similar! Identified as this rather than roseoviolacea on basis of spore measurement - which may be an small immature spore. Sequence is close to Petersen's C. gibssiae sensu NZ indicating that colour is perhaps variable. [Sep 2016] spores found and are spiny. length=10.7–12.9µm (µ=11.8, σ=0.81), width=8.2–9.9µm (µ=8.9, σ=0.53), Q=1.2–1.4µm (µ=1.34, σ=0.08), n=9, spines to 3um. Most spores smooth. This cannot be C. subviolacea and is closer to C. megaspinosa. Petersen also notes that the spines must appear late because nerly all the spores were smooth. The close proximity of this to sequences of C. roseoviolacea makes me think that spines are ninconsistent and a good character for separating Clavaria. Thus a number of Petersen't species pair-up. C. megapinosa with C. roseovioleacea (notwithstanding spore Q in C.r. = 1.3, C.m.=1.1).
