Humidicutis lewellinae

cf Hygrocybe lewellinae

Found in the Waitakere Forest 2004.

I have also seen it in the Hunua and Kaimai Ranges.

The purple tints and the radial splits in the edge are distinctive.

Before the adjacent cortinaria was picked for microscopy!

This shows the comparative size and how close these different species were growing together.
A lot of fungi were available this day, including the large group of Entoloma hochstetteri illustrated on this web site.
