Huatoki Domain.
Found under a rotting piece of wood. Ash grey.
Growing on fallen tree trunk, Yellow track below Flax Clearing, at Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush. On the same trunk with Galerina patagonica.
As singles dotted through the beech forest over a section of the track.
Only collected / sampled one, photographed two others, and did see at least one more.
On a cicada under, what looked like, regrowth forest. The color was white to cream.
Under beech. The biggest one was ~17cm tall from bottom to top.
Cap and stem dry. Stem was more dotted than zebra stripped. Was also ruff, with clear ring approx 2/3rd's of way up stem.
Bulb present. Gills were light / white when young. Veil present and seemed to be still present on the largest fruit body. So the veil not not ephemeral like some.
Cap surface not viscid, was ruff to furry. Not hygrophanous
In urban grass lawn after rainfall.
In random roadside bush up a bank, on public side of a property boundary, under a couple of native trees. Fruiting singly, long thin stipe about 2cm tall. Not roseoflava: stipe and cap shape all wrong for that. But similar coloration.
Spores lemon-shaped. Culture attempted, will wait to see if it catches hold. White fluff at base of stipe.
Checked at night - not luminescent.
