Here are a few images from todays fungi foray, you guys in San Francisco have P. "cyanofriscosa", I'm calling this interesting species P. "subsecotioides" for it's interesting partial secotioid form.

I like these. Nice photos. My friend is mushroom hunting in NZ right now, I hear it is raining a LOT.

That is because he just made up the name.

Thanks guys
CureCat, yes, I know your friend is here, Alan mentioned that I should contact him! It may be raining a lot in the south island but here in Auckland it has been very dry with only one day of real rain so far, the fungi season is off to a slow start. I just posted a Psathyrella species on MO that you are probably interested in, it has interesting sphaeropedunculate cheilocystidia, I plan to make some micrographs tomorrow and add them to the observation.
Lord Mayonnaise, yes CC is right, I made that name up a while ago just as someone made up the name P. "cyanofriscosa", I think it portrays the species well, describing the form of the fruiting bodies and the fact that the basidia of this species has almost completely lost the ability to forcefully eject the spores, it is not an accepted name just as P. "cyanofriscosa" is not an accepted name or even correct Latin, hence the quotation marks!

Love the photos inski. Keep up the great work. You manage to bring NZ's amazing fungi to the fore consistently.
Do you have any photos of a cross-section of them?

Hi Tripsis,
I'll add some images of the cross sections tomorrow, it's interesting to note that the lamellae are often coarsely cellular like the gleba of Weraroa novae-zelandiae which is coarsely cellular and sometimes lamellar. The lamellae also become rather thickened towards the pileus trama which seems to run into the upper parts of the lamellae making the thickened area look white like the colour of the flesh of the pileus. inski.

Yeah he thought it was was a P. Subaerginosa originating from Tasmania. Interesting

Wow! What an intriguing specimen you've got! When I first saw them I thought they were Ink Caps for sure, but now that I see they aren't I'm blown away! If I walked by those I wouldn't have ever thought...

Hi J.T,
These were found in a completely different location.
I don't think it is P. subaeruginosa at all, nor do I think it originates in Tasmania!
