Taxonomic status: Heterotypic synonym of H. victoriense
Types: NEW CALEDONIA: Mount Koghis, Dumbea, Province Sud, on soil on pathside, near Gleichenia and Myrtaceae in tropical rainforest (approx. 22.1778°S, 166.5068°E, alt. approx. 470 m a.s.l.) on soil in subtropical woodland pathside under Myrtaceae sp., 23 May 1995, A. Bresinsky, B. Wittman-Bresinsky (6119) (Holotype. herbarium acc. no. M-0124631, HJB1000388).

Original diagnosis: Pileus 8 cm, pileocutis primo modice lubrica, leviter nitida, propius marginem magnis accumbentibus, in ipso margine praeacutis squamis fibrillosis dependentibus instructa. Color pileocutis ochraceus, propius marginem flavescentes, Lamellae sinuatae decurrentes, colore carneo vel ex rufo ochraceo, non argillaceo. Acies lamellarum et margine albido et maculis hic illic obscuris instructae. Stipes 10 x 1.3 cm, basi breviter radicata, quae basis supra radicem non insigniter est clavata, summa in parte anulo instructus, colore flavo vel argillaceo, infra anulum fibrillis et squamis accumbentibus tectus. Caro primo odore fugaci dulci et martipanis simillimo, deinde odore fungorum consueto aut odoris expers. Nascitur in humo prope semitam quandam in monte Khogis insulae Novae Caledoniae. Sporae latae, ellipsoideae vel amygdaliformes, verrucosae simulque crasse tunicatae, sub microscopio (color pulveris sporarum non exquirebatur) ex brunneo ochraceae, 7-8 (-9.5) x 5-6 (-7) μm.

English translation: Pileus 8 cm, surface at first moderately lubricous, slightly shining, covered with large fibrillose scales, appressed closer to the margin, pointed and appendiculate on the very margin. Colour of the surface ochraceous, yellowish closer to the margin. Lamellae sinuate, decurrent, pinkish or reddish-ochraceous, not argillaceous. Edge of lamellae whitish and with dark spots here and there. Stipe 10 x 1.3 cm, with a shortly rooting base, not remarkably clavate above the root, with an annulus on the upper part, yellow or argillaceous, below the annulus covered with fibrils and appressed scales. Context at first with a fugacious sweet smell very similar to marzipan, then with the usual mushroomy (smell) or inodorous. Growing occasionally in humus on a pathside in Mount Khogis of the island of New Caledonia. Spores large, ellipsoid or amygdaliform, verrucose and at the same time thick-walled, under the microscope (the colour of the spores in mass was not ascertained) brown to ochraceous, 7-8 (-9.5) x 5-6 (-7) μm.
