Public Note:
DA10328. First as Lyophyllum, then Tricholoma, but spores amyloid. Basal to Tricholoma tree. Solitary of fasciculate on soil near Nothofagus solnadrii. Cap 2-8cm, convex, minutely fibrillose to minutely squamulose, milky coffee to fuscous black, darkening towards centre, cap permiter inrolled. Stem, cylindrical, equal, 2-6cm x 3-10mm, longitudially fibrous, paler than cap, stuffed. Gills thick, distant, in series of 2, edge sometimes darkening. Gill attachment emarginate. Cap a radially constructed cutis of clamped glassy-walled hyphae, final layer with both weak brown plasmatic and zebroid encrustation, to 5um diameter. With erect short cylindrical, obtuse terminal hyphae, slightly inflated. 4-spored. Basidia to 40 x 8um.Cheilocystidia cylindrical, sometimes amulliform to weakly lecythiform to 40 x 6um. No pleurocystidia. Spores thin-walled amyloid length=5.3–6.9µm (µ=6.1, σ=0.41), width=3.9–5.0µm (µ=4.4, σ=0.33), Q=1.2–1.5µm (µ=1.38, σ=0.08), n=20, with apiculus to 1.5um.See P. bambusarum from Hawaii but that with bifurcate gills. There was a chance the associated phot was T. atrofibrillosa (collected by Noah from Dracophyllum flat). However the material in the packet is definitely the same as the phot.
