Caball., Vizzini, G. Munoz & Contu 2015	<div><p>Lepiota elseae A. Caball., Vizzini, G. Muñoz &amp; Contu, spec. nov. Figs. 2–4</p> <p>MycoBank MB 811370</p> <p>Diagnosis:—It is distinguished from Lepiota clypeolaria (Bull.) P. Kumm. by a pileus with brown-pinkish tinges, rare claviform elements not forming a subhymeniform layer below the long cylindrical elements of the pileus covering, growth in Quercus ilex litter in Mediterranean areas and different ITS sequence.</p> <p>Type:— SPAIN. La Rioja: Valle de Ocón, Santa Lucía, La Garena, in Quercus ilex wood, Mediterranean maquis, 600 m alt., 30 October 2012, A. Caballero, AH-40487 (Holotype, AH!), AC-5009 and GM-2852 (Isotypes, AC!, GM!).</p> <p>Etymology:—The species is named in honour of Else C. Vellinga, on account of her important contributions to the systematic arrangement of lepiotoid fungi.</p> <p>Pileus 30–70 mm diam., at first ovoid, conico-campanulate, lately expanding to broadly conical to plano-convex, usually with a low, broad umbo; surface dry, felted, when young smooth to finely squamulose at centre but without distinct scales, reddish chestnut to ochre brown, pinkish cream (Mu 2,5YR 5/4-8, 4/4-8, 6/3-4), gradually cracking, starting from centre, into small, more or less uplifted woolly scales concentrically arranged, more fibrillose towards margin, paler than centre (Mu 2,5YR 8/1-2, 6/3-4), on a whitish to ivory background; margin with whitish cottony-floccose velar remnants. Lamellae (L = 65–85), (l = 1–2), moderately to very crowded, free, subventricose to ventricose, up to 6 mm broad, white, with concolorous edge. Stipe 45–85 × 6–10 mm, tapering upwards or cylindrical, with slightly clavate base, fistulose to hollow, whitish, at apex smooth to minutely silky-fibrillose, lower down with a more or less distinct annular zone, below with irregular bands or incomplete girdles of cottony whitish squamules. Context thin (up to 4 mm thick), white. Smell usually unpleasant, caoutchouc [rubber like as Lepiota cristata (Bolton) P. Kumm.], sometimes faint and not distinctive. Taste not distinctive. Spore print white.</p> <p>Spores [181, 4, 4], in side-view (11.06−)11.92−14.24−16.88(−18.44) × (4.44−)4.69−5.41−6.57(−7.59) μm, Q = (1.95−)2.22−2.66−3.11(−3.17), variable in shape and size, in side-view more or less rhomboidal, larmiform, amygdaliform, with convex sides, some with papilla-like apex, usually with suprahilar depression, with hilar appendage prominent and curved, in frontal view subfusiform to fusiform, cylindrical-fusiform, with granular contents, smooth, hyaline, thin- to thick-walled, dextrinoid, not metachromatic in Brilliant Cresyl Blue, congophilous. Basidia 25−40 × 9−14 μm, clavate-pyriform to clavate, usually 4-spored, rarely 2-spored. Lamella edge sterile. Cheilocystidia 20−30 × 8−13 μm, clavate to pyriform, rarely some with 1(−2) septa, hyaline, thin-walled. Pleurocystidia absent. Pileus covering a trichoderm consisting of erect, long cylindrical, non-septate elements (with rounded apex), (150−)200−400(−500) × 8−12 μm, slightly thick-walled, intermixed with rare and scattered short cylindrico-claviform elements, 30−50(−90) × 8−13 (−15) μm, not forming a basal subhymeniform layer. Pigment hyaline to pale ochraceous, parietal, encrusting in the subpellis elements. Stipitipellis a cutis made up of cylindric-adpressed, 4−7(−10) μm wide hyphae, over 100 μm long, hyaline, with parietal pigment. Velum made up of short, (15−)20−50(−100) × (4−)6−10(−12) μm cylindrical to subellipsoidal hyphae, catenulate, obliquely oriented in relation to the long axis of the stipe, hyaline to light yellow, with parietal or encrusted zebra-like pigment. Clamp-connections present and abundant in all tissues.</p> <p>Habit, habitat and distribution:—In small groups, terrestrial, on Quercus ilex litter in Mediterranean maquis, fruiting from September to November. So far it is known only from Spain and possibly France (see Discussion).</p> <p>Additional collections examined:— SPAIN.
