- Abstract
A yellow to olive-yellow Pluteus species (Fungi, Agaricales) has been observed on a number of Field Naturalists Club of Victoria Fungi Group forays. It was thought to be P. lutescens based on images found in some fungi field guides. Detailed examination of the pileus cuticle (pileipellis) revealed a cutis in transition to a trichoderm with long cylindrical terminal cells. This is inconsistent with P. lutescens, which has a hymenoderm layer of almost spherical inflated cells. The characteristics of this Pluteus were compared with a number of other species, namely P. pauperculus (= P. lutescens sensu K. Griffiths), P. romellii, P. chrysophlebius and the species in Pluteus stirps Leoninus for which our species seemed to have an affinity. It was concluded that the characteristics did not match any of the species examined, which would suggest that this species is undescribed.
