Guangdong Province: Guangzhou City, Tianluhu Park, 11 September 2012, Xin Zhang 300 (RITF 1874, holotype!). Basidiomata (Fig. 2 A & 4) small to medium sized. Pileus 24 – 50 mm in diam., hemispherical, sometimes with a low umbo, margin incurved when young, expanding to applanate or concave, slightly depressed or even shallow infundibuliform with age, margin straight and undulate, sometimes dehiscent, often glabrous; color cream white to pale olive-buff (XL 21 ’’ f), and center somtimes with pale yellow-green (VI 31 f) tints when young, buff-pink (XXVIII 11 ’’ d) to light congo-pink (XXVIII 7 ’’ d) at center and gradual paler towards the margin, pale vinaceous-pink (XXVIII 9 ’’ f) to pale congo-pink (XXVIII 7 ’’ f) or pale brownish-vinaceous at margin; sometimes, the colors are easily washed out by rain, with the end result of a whitish pileus with pale green tinges at center, for which the pinkish color is more soluble than green tinges; slightly viscid when moist, vinaceous-tawny (XXVIII 11 ’’) to onion-skin pink (XXVIII 11 ’’ b) when dried; pellis somtimes with small part exfoliating.

Basidiospores (Fig. 3) [140 / 7 / 6] (6.0) 6.2 – 8.5 (9.4) × (5.7) 6.2 – 7.8 (8.5) μm [Q = (1.0) 1.02 – 1.13 (1.15), avQ = 1.07 ± 0.07], globose to subglobose or broadly ellipsoid, with a small hilar appendage, ornamentation amyloid, warts bluntly conical, joined basally by fine amyloid ridges and forming a partial reticulum, or occasionally isolated, plage indistinct and amyloid, hyaline in 5 % KOH. Basidia (Fig. 2 B) (29.5) 32.5 – 48.5 (60.5) × 10.5 – 16.0 μm, clavate, slightly bulbous in the upper half, 4 sterigmata or 2 - spored, sterigmata up to 9 μm. Cheilocystidia (Fig. 2 C) 40.5 – 51.5 (54.5) × 8.8 – 13.0 μm, rare, clavate or narrowly clavate, somtimes with a bluntly acuminate tip. Pleurocystidia (Fig. 2 D) 41.5 – 75.8 × 9.9 – 13.9 μm, clavate to subclavate, common, apices obtuse or bluntly acuminate, sometimes with a macronate tip. Caulocystidia (Fig. 2 E) 63.0 – 136.5 × 7.5 – 10.2 μm, common, narrow clavate to clavate. Pileipellis (Fig. 2 F) composed of erect and cylindrical hyphae, often branched and interwoven, septate, light phlox purple (XI 65 d) in SV, terminal elements 10.5 – 27.0 × 2.2 – 5.0 μm, cylindrical, with obtuse and often tapered ends. Pileocystidia (Fig. 2 G), common, 11.5 – 38.0 × 4.0 – 8.5 (10.0) μm, clavate, septate, with crystal contents, often amaranth pink (XII 69 d) and rare grayish in SV, apices obtuse. Clamp connections absent. Habitat and distribution: Solitary to dispersed, terrestrial, under the coniferous and broad leaf forests, dominated by Castanopsis sp., Pinus sp., Acacia sp., in summer and autumn. So far only found from type locality. Additional specimens examined: China.
