Original diagnosis: Agaricus Kirtoni, Kalchbrenner (Sectio Hebeloma). Pileo compacte carnoso convexo-plano obtuso subrepando laevi glabro testaceo praeditus cortina nulla, stipite solido carnoso fibrilloso pallido albo-sericeo, lamellis adnatis confertis angustis carneo-lateritiis, sporis ovatis, carneo-ochraceis. Illawarra, W. Kirton. Pileus 2-3 poll. latus; stipes pileo aequilongus, 0.5 poll. crassus. Statura A. fastibilis. Ob sporarum colorem inconsuetum forte ad Entolomata referendus, sed nimis compactus et habitu omnino Tricholomatis.
English translation: Pileus thickly fleshy plano-convex obtuse slightly wavy smooth glabrous brick red lacking any cortina, stipe solid fleshy fibrillose pale silky-white, lamellae adnate crowded narrow pinkish-brick red, spores ovoid, pinkish-ochraceous. Illawarra, W. Kirton Pileus 2-3 in. broad; stipe length equalling pileus breadth, 0.5 in. thick. Same size as A. fastibilis. Because of the unusual colour of spores, strongly calling to mind species of Entoloma, but too squat and in appearance entirely a Tricholoma.
Commentary: Kalchbrenner's description makes specific mention of the spore colour indicating Entolomaceae, which would suggest the redddish brown spores associated with H. sect. Porphyrospora. The absence of a veil rules out H. victoriense and H. youngii, leaving H. aminophilum as the most likely interpretation of this taxon. Hebeloma kirtonii was collected from Illawarra in New South Wales where we know H. aminophilum does occur. Of course, there is alwys the possibility that this might represent some other species of H. sect. Porphrospora, either undescribed or not recorded from Australia.
