Westport 2006 Foray Report

We captured information on 682 collections representing 253 taxa. 335 collections were added to PDD. None had a Nationally Critical status although 57 records had a current Data Deficient status. However, 14 collections had only one previous collection, of which 4 new to NZ and 4 were the second collection after the original Type specimen. In addition, the use of the FUNNZ tracking system allowed us to capture and collate 425 images of 165 taxa. Images of macrofungi in their fresh state are critical to identification because gross morphology is lost on drying. Many of the taxa had no previous captured image.

Campanella	2006/1484 2006/1484	Pororari River Gorge	[JAC]gill trama gelatinised, cap a trichoderm of extremely diverticulate elements, edge of gills not fimbriate, tissue not discolouring and drying white. 4-spored, inamyloid (or v. weakly so), no cheilocystidia obvious. Spores amygdaliform 9 x 5um. Not any of the taxa treated by Segedin or Singer, close to C. junghunii sensu Parmasto but that described with a more merulioid hymenium and pictured as such by Fuhrer.	87081

Clavaria	2006/0352 2006/0352	Charming Creek Walkway	[jac] 4-spored, spores allantoid 7 x 4.5, cystidia non-emergent, branched, no tissue clamped, basidia base without loops at base. A Clavaria in subgenus Holocoryne. Macroscopically like alboglobospora or vermicularis but spores wrong for both. Not truly fasciculate sp also close to Petersen's c.f rubicundula, but insufficiently pink for that although spores shape and size is closer. Old basidia collapsing.	89863
Clavaria (Clavulinopsis)	2006/1211	Pororari River Walk, Punakaiki
Clavaria amoena	2006/0025	Porarari Walk, Bullock Creek	[jac] Spores with refractive walls 7.5um. Microscopically consistent with this sp. A robust collection.	89845
Clavaria amoena	2006/0247 2006/0247	Chasm Creek Walkway	[jac] base of stem white tomentose and white hyphae pad binding soil. Mature sterigma long, spores smooth, hyaline, subglobose/ellipsoid 8x5um, with refractive walls, most 2-spored but some 4-,3, 1 spored, tissue clamped, basidia without basal loops, monomitic. Spores white. Hymenium not changing in Iron salt.	89875

Clavulina	2006/0036 2006/0036	Charming Creek Walkway	[jac] Very obviously felty with cystidia bunched in fascicles clearly visible under dissecting scope. 2-spored 10x8 subglobose, tissue clamped, some cells with brown plasmatic content,stem ivory, branched (but more fasciculate than branched), basidia < 50um. Again in the area of brunneocinerea, copiosocystidiata but spores are too large.	89850
Clavulina	2006/0147	Denniston
Clavulina	2006/0379 2006/0379	Punakaiki "Inland Track"	[jac] grey when dry, looking felty. Tissue clamped, with cystdia (not profusely clamped) emergent (40um), predominantly 2-spored broadly ellipsoid to pyriform 10-12 x 8-10um, basidia 55um long (similar to jac10133 except for emergent cystidia). In the group around C. copiosacystidiate, septocystidiata etc.	89833

Clavulina	2006/2005 2006/2005	Perseverence Road	[JAC]stags-horn furcate, arising from white hyphae binding soil. Mostly 2, sometimes 3-spored, spores distinctly pyriform 12 x 9um, tissue clamped, cystidia absent (or basidia-like in which case lots of them), basidia 50um long. The spores are too big for any of the candidates in Petersen.	87218
Clavulina geoglossoides	2006/0292	Murray Creek Track, Reefton	?geoglossoides	88925
Clavulina hispidulosa	2006/0666 2006/0666 2006/0666	Nile River	[JAC]white, mild. Hot. 2-spored, cylindrical cystidia present and clealy emergent (looking hairy), some clustered, , septate, clamped, monomitic, all tissue clamped, arbuscularly branched, white when fresh but drying grey, basidia 50 um, spores subglobose 9-10 x 7-9um. Septation and clampes are inconistent. Suspect some of Petersen's spp are synonyms?	87112
Clavulina leveillei var. atricha	2006/1565	Nile River	[JAC]taste mild. Tissue clamped, cystidia occasional and only sparsely septate and with clamps, spores globose 9-10um, with dark pigment in tissue (like 8993), basidia 70um long, hardly emergent.	87107
Clavulina leveillei var. atricha	2006/1565	Nile River	[JAC]taste mild. Tissue clamped, cystidia occasional and only sparsely septate and with clamps, spores globose 9-10um, with dark pigment in tissue (like 8993), basidia 70um long, hardly emergent.	87107
Clavulina samuelsii	2006/0383 2006/0383	Punakaiki "Inland Track"	[jac] 2-spored, spores collapsing, monomitic, with cystidia, drying ochraceous, clamped, sparsely branched, spores subglobose 9-10um. Keys to Samuelsii except spores larger. Fragments of cystidia broken and present in mount. Macroscopically very similar to a number of other taxa - are they really different?	89881
Clitocybe	2006/1499 2006/1499	Pororari River Gorge	[JAC]Gills dark brown/purple on drying. Cap tissue not gelatinised, clamped, a cutis, no tissue amyloid or dextrinoid, spores elliptical 4x2.5um, with cheilocystidia, without pleurocystidia. Stem fibrous. Gills sinuate, not forked. Not really a Clitocybe, but what?	87072
clitocybula	2006/0611 2006/0611	Lewis Pass, 1km east of Maruia Springs	[jac]. Ian had as Pseudoclitocybe. With strong basal tomentum. Cap a cutis with extra-cellular pigment, occasional broad clamps, and (looks like occasional darker sepate dermatocystidia but these maybe Lasiosphaeria spores!). 4-spored, spores weakly amyloid, cylindrical 8 x 4um. Gills decurrent/emarginate, not forked but with lamellulae, no cheilocystidia. Singer: neoclitocybe in singer's tribus collybiae (inamyloid), pseudoclitocybe in leucopaxillae (amyloid, clamped). Trama here parallel. This comes to Singer's Clitocybula in leucopaxillae (which Egon has in inamyloid section of his key)	89839

Stem minutely scurfy with caulocystidia, base with brown hairs at base. Clamped, caulocystidia thick walled, cap hyphae with zebra encrustation and strongly diverticulate (dextrinoid?), cap structure mixed, 4-spored ellipsoid 6-7x3um, with bubbles, inamyloid (or very weakly amyloid), gill edge sterile and with interwoven long diverticulate cystidia, occasional diverticulate pleurocystidia. Gills drying pink, adnate, but pulling away from stem. Agrees macroscopically with C. drucei but the cap cuticle and cheilocystidia leave doubt.	87100
Collybia incarnata	2006/0475 2006/0475 2006/0475 2006/0475	Perseverence Road	[JAC]stem smooth but pubescent towards base (and has caulocystidia at top when look carefully), 4-spored, cap a cutis with occasinal outgrowths, not gelatinised, with extra-cuticular pigment (hayline), unclamped. With thin walled irregular cheilocystidia, pleurocystidia occasional, gill tissue and spores inamyloid 8.5 x 4um. Similar to 9400, 9353, 9148. Somebody needs to check the distinctive cheilocystidia to see if they are present on type.	87215
Collybia rimutaka	2006/1457 2006/1457 2006/1457	Oparara Arches, Karamea	[JAC]small and grouped. Stem definitely smooth, not hairy at base. Stem hypahe clamped, with sparse caulocystidia, tisue not or weakly dextrinoid. No pleurocystidia, with flexuose irregular cheilocystidia, spores 6.5-7 x 3um. Watch out for the fasciculate nature of this.	87097

Conchomyces bursiformis	2006/1464 2006/1464	Nile River	[JAC]with gelatinous peelable layer on cap. Taste mild (or maybe sour?).. Spores globose, spinose. This is the real Conchomyces.	87109

Grey veilar remnants filementous, cap cells elongate, no sphaerocysts or setules, no ring remnants anywhere, stem base with tomentum, spores 10.5x6.5, germ pore central. Seems to have small amyloid components in gill edge? Close to atramentarius.	87117
Coprinus	2006/1567 2006/1567 2006/1567 2006/1567	Pororari River Gorge	[JAC]without veil, spherical cells and setulae on cap, germ pore 1.5um, central, 9x7um.	87083
