intro |
The following text may make multiple use of each data field. The field may contain magenta text presenting data from a type study and/or revision of other original material cited in the protolog of the present taxon. Macroscopic descriptions in magenta are a combination of data from the protolog and additional observations made on the exiccata during revision of the cited original material. The same field may also contain black text, which is data from a revision of the present taxon (including non-type material and/or material not cited in the protolog). Paragraphs of black text will be labeled if further subdivision of this text is appropriate. Olive text indicates a specimen that has not been thoroughly examined (for example, for microscopic details) and marks other places in the text where data is missing or uncertain. The following material is derived directly from the protolog of the present species. | ||||||||
pileus | from protolog: 50 - 60 mm wide, olivaceous brown, darker (yellowish brown, 5E-F8) over umbo, covered with brown granular squamules, especially on the umbo, somewhat radially veined, convex at first, becoming plane and at length shallowly depressed and then with low broad obtuse umbo, glutinous; context white, rather thin, soft; margin not described; gluten layer separable [probably separates along with upper portion of pileus context]. | ||||||||
lamellae | from protolog: free, close then subdistant, white, 4 - 5 mm broad, ventricose, with edges entire. | ||||||||
stipe | from protolog: 70± × 9.5 - 12.5 mm, paler than pileus, pale olivaceous brown below apex, white at apex; viscid; narrowing upward; bulb subclavate; context solid; partial veil evanescent; gluten layer not specifically described, probably covering pale olivaceous brown part of stipe. | ||||||||
odor/taste | from protolog: Odor slight. Taste mild. | ||||||||
macrochemical tests |
none recorded. | ||||||||
lamella trama | from protolog: bilateral. | ||||||||
subhymenium | double click in markup mode to edit. | ||||||||
basidia | from protolog: 32 - 39 × 8.5 - 10.5 μm, 4-sterigmate; clamps present. | ||||||||
gluten layer | from protolog: On pileus: turflike, filamentous hyphae upright or appressed, 4.5 - 6.0 μm wide, with terminal segments cylindric or attenuated; clamps present. | ||||||||
partial veil | from protolog: [absent in illustration] | ||||||||
basidiospores | from protolog: "6.5 - 7.5 × 5.5 - 7.0 μm, broadly ellipsoid or subglobose, minutely punctate (under oil immersion)," inamyloid. | ||||||||
ecology | from protolog: "On the ground in shady, moist forest." | ||||||||
material examined | from protolog: JAPAN: BONIN ISLANDS—Hahajima - Koshinzuka, 30.xi.1977 T. Hongo B255 (holotype, in herb. T. Hongo). | ||||||||
discussion |
The basidiome is said to lack both pleuro- and cheilocystidia. Hongo pointed out that the present species differs from other of sect. Lubricae described at the time (1978) by having larger spores and distinctive olive-brown pigmentation. | ||||||||

Each spore data set is intended to comprise a set of measurements from a single specimen made by a single observer; and explanations prepared for this site talk about specimen-observer pairs associated with each data set. Combining more data into a single data set is non-optimal because it obscures observer differences (which may be valuable for instructional purposes, for example) and may obscure instances in which a single collection inadvertently contains a mixture of taxa.
