Taxonomic status: This is a Pholiota.
Types: AUSTRALIA: New South Wales: Mount Wilson, Blue Mountains (approx. 33.5063°S, 150.3791°E, alt. approx. 1000 m a.s.l.) on boggy soil in woodland, Jun. 1915, J.B. Cleland (Holotype. herbarium acc. no. AD-C9970, HJB1000552).
Original diagnosis: Pileus 3 vel 3+ cm. latus, convexus, margins initio paulo involuto, lato-gibbosus, paulo viscidus, flavo-fuscus, apice saepe atro-fusco, squamis dispersis fuscis. Velum initio evidens, deinde appendiculatum. Lamellae minime sinuato-adnatae, paulo eonfertae, atro-cinnamoneae. Stipes ad 6 cm. altus, firmus, demum tubulosus, deorsum fibrillis fuscis, sursum pallido-fuscus et farinosus, base paulo bulbosus. Sporae fuscae, 7-8.5 x 3.6 to 4 μ.
English translation: Pileus 3 cm or more broad, convex, with margins at first slightly involute, broad gibbous, slightly viscid, yellow-brown, often dark brown on the disc, with sparse brown scales. Veil at first obvious, later appendiculate. Lamellae hardly sinuate-adnate, slightly crowded, dark cinnamon. Stipe about 6 cm high, firm, finally fistulose, downwards with dark fibrils, at the apex pale brown and pulverulent, slightly bulbous at base. Spores dark, 7-8.5 x 3.6-4 μ.
Commentary: The spores are thick walled with a clear germ pore. Chrysocystidia are present. This is most likely a Pholiota. A watercolour by Miss Clarke (No 82), would appear to support this being a Pholiota.
