Termitomyces fuliginosus R. Heim
Index fungorum number: 291352
Pileus 5-8 cm diam., conic to convex then convexo-applanate to plane when mature, with a spiniform at first and bluntly pointed perforatorium when mature; surface golden brown to brownish orange, radially fibrillose and shiny, margin at first incurved then straight, often splitting. Lamellae free, white to cream, 0.5 cm wide, crowded with lamellulae. Stipe 8-10 cm long, 1.0-1.3 cm wide, central, cylindrical or slightly bulbous at stipe base, surface cream to pale brown covering with pale brown fibrillose, solid fibrous. Annulus membranous ephemeral and often absent after the initial stage, attached to the upper of stipe. Pseudorhiza 10-20 cm long, 0.3-0.5 cm thick, cylindrical to slender, surface white, smooth or longitudinally striate, solid. Spore deposit white. Basidiospores 4.5-7 x 3-4.5 μm, ellipsoid; smooth and thin-walled, inamyloid. Basidia 16-20 x 6-8 μm, clavate, bearing four sterigmata, inamyloid. Hymenophoral trama regular, 50-72 μm wide, inamyloid. Cheilocystidia crowded, 18-24 x 10-11 μm, clavate, smooth and thin-walled, inamyloid. Pleurocystidia scattered to rare, 20-30 x 8.5-11 μm, similar to cheilocystidia. Pileipellis a repent epicutis of narrow, radial hyphae, 1.0-2.5 μm diam.
