elegant blue webcap

The cap ranges from 2.5 to 7 cm (1–3 in) in diameter, and is initially convex before flattening. It has a slight boss that is mustard-, honey- or cream-yellow tinged and steely blue elsewhere. The adnate gills are creamy or lilac-tinged early, and darken with the spores. The slender 5–7.5 cm (2–3 in) stipe lacks a ring; it is pale yellow or white with a tinge of the cap colour. The flesh is yellowish and may have a lilac or pale blue tinge. The spore print is reddish brown and the oval to round spores measure 8.5 × 6.5 μm. There is no particular taste or smell. Potassium hydroxide will produce a pink-purple reaction in the stipe or cap. The mycelium is white.

It has been found in New South Wales, Victoria, southeastern South Australia, southern Western Australia, and Tasmania. It has also been recorded from New Zealand. Fruit bodies are found in eucalypt forests and rainforests, and occasionally cleared areas. It forms associations with Eucalyptus, Leptospermum and possibly Casuarina.
