Specimen notes
Public Note:
Stem staining red. Flesh staining orange. Drying dark brown/purple. Cheilocystidia with internal pigment, clavate but very variable, frequently with elongate neck or lecythiform arising from strong band of parallel hyphae on gill edge (visible after squash). With oil drops in Melzers. 4-spored. Spores without germ pore, deeply dextrinoid, metachromatic 7.2-8(7.6) SD0.2 n=7 x 4.3-4.7(4.5) SD0.2 n=7 Q=1.7. The spores have a distinct apical papilla which isn't obvious in image - that of spores on cap surface whereas apical papilla is only obvious on spores on gill squash. Cap filaments clampless, brown. This is identical to 9495 - but perhaps not badhamii or americanus (bresadolae) or meleagris. From Velingas Mycotaxon paper - march 2008 - I've decided this is L. croceovelutina (and not Australian L. haemorrhagica because of cheilocystidia). Egon's notes on the type of haemorrhagica has spores 6-7.5x4-4.5 (bigger than Thiele's collection examined by Vellinga) and cheilocystidia with uniform short neck (more uniform than this collection). Egon's collection ZT0616=PDD2714 is a slender taxon with very variable cheilocystidia and perhaps something different. NZ collections labelled L. americanus and badhammi probably belong with this. New to NZ. See Mycotaxon v11, p393 for US taxa near L. croceovelutinus (castanescens). Reported to MAF 2/07/2010. = Lepiota discolorata. length=7.1–8.0µm (µ=7.6, σ=0.35), width=4.1–4.7µm (µ=4.4, σ=0.24), Q=1.6–2.0µm (µ=1.74, σ=0.14), n=7
