discussion
Notes. We approximate it to C. rigidireta because of its stalk with basal intertwined fibres, subglobose sporotheca, capillitium forming at the periphery of a rigid net, and spores of 11 - 13 µm diam. It also resembles C. nigra (Pers. ex J. F. Gmel.) J. Schröt., but this species’ peripheral net is finer, and the spores are smaller, 7.5 – 9 µm diam.
