A distinctive brown, fibrillose Neohygrocybe with Inocybe-like pileus fibrils, dry stipe, and pink-reddening context. Interestingly, even though this collection has been sequenced, I have seen three different names given to it, so I won't be surprised if it changes again. Although it is a common species around Auckland, it seems to get overlooked. This species is not readily recognised as a waxgill due to its size and shape.

Pileus: 20-45 mm diam.; hemispherical or convex when young, becoming plano‑convex to expanded. Surface dry, light brown, covered with radially arranged, innate, concolorous fibrils (Inocybe‑like). Slightly hygrophanous; striate when moist. Margin not distinctly translucent-striate. Papilla absent.
Lamellae: Emarginate-adnexed; distant, thick. Colour whitish, becoming pinkish to brownish when bruised. Gill edge even, concolorous.
Stipe: 30-60 x 5-8 mm, cylindric, equal or attenuated toward base, often curved. Colour whitish to concolorous with pileus. Surface dry, densely covered with innate longitudinal fibrils. Hollow, fragile.
Context: Whitish, turning pink or red when cut or bruised.
Odour/tast: Odour alkaline to fruity. Taste mild.
