withinfungusDescription
Fruit bodies are fleshy and gregarious (photo 1). Cap 1-3cm diam., flat, dry, smooth (glabrous), with inrolled margin, cream colour with yellow-brown patches (photos 2-3). Cap has non-decurrent white spines on the underside which reach stem (photos 1, 4).
Stem - 1-3cm long. A smaller fruit body on the photo 1 has a ~1cm wide stem. Fleshy, white stem with the white basal mycelia.
Spore print - white (couldn’t take photo on the glass slide). Spores - 5-7 x 4-5um, Q 1.0-1.8; Av. 5.7 x 4.6um, Q 1.3. Spores globose, subglobose or broadly ellipsoid, hyaline, thin walled (photo 5). No reaction with Malzer’s reagent (photo 6).
My sizing of spores is slightly smaller than that reported for H. crocidens (6.8-8.2(-9) x 6-7.5um) by McNabb R.F.R (1971) (https://virtualmycota.landcareresearch.co.nz).
Spore magnification: 1000x
Species will be sequenced.
