Pluteus observed in the Mangemangeroa Reserve - Pluteus sp. ‘Yellow NZ'

The cap of this species can appear similar to Pluteus readiarum. In the Mangemangeroa Reserve this species can be distinguished in the field from Pluteus readiarum by the cream stipe and the gill lamellae which extend all the way to the cap margin. (The variety of Pluteus readiarum which is seen in the Mangemangeroa Reserve has a tan stipe along its entire length and the cap margin exceeds the gill lamellae). The dark squamules on the cap surface are more uniformly distributed over the surface of the cap whereas for Pluteus readiarum the dark squamules are typically arranged in a network pattern although this can be variable.

Description: The cap has yellow tones with brown squamules. The fruit bodies are convex, occasionally becoming flatter with age and typically grow 3-5 cm in diameter but have been observed growing up to 6.5 cm in diameter. The gills are yellow-pink and extend all the way to the cap margin. The stipe is cream to yellow and may have tan-brown squamules towards the base. Microscopically the cap cells are somewhat shorter and narrower than for P. readiarum and typically have a rounded apex. Pleurocystidia are variable but narrow bottle-shaped pleurocystidia are often seen.

Abundance: Commonly observed in the Mangemangeroa Reserve.

These Pluteus fruit bodies have dark coloured squamules overlying a cream-yellow cap. The gills are creamy with yellow tones and the gill lamellae extend all the way to the cap margin. The stipe is white-cream, not especially bulbous at the base and 5-7 mm in diameter. These fruit bodies were the largest I have seen for this species, 3.5-6.5 cm in diameter and 4.5-8 cm in height. Remnant mature coastal broadleaf forest.
