Reduced Marasmioid and Mycenoid agarics from Australasia

Abstract

Ten species representing five genera of reduced marasmioid and mycenoid agarics are reported from Australasia. Seven of these species represent new taxa: Marasmius meridionalis sp. nov., Gloiocephala tibiicystis sp, nov., G. phormiorum sp. nov., G. tenuicrinita sp, nov., Anastrophella macrospora gen. et sp. nov., Hispidocalyptella australis gen. et sp. nov., and Hemimycena reducta sp, nov. Gloiocephala epiphylla and Hemimycena hirsuta are reported from Australasia for the first time, and additional data on Marasmius pusillissimus is reported from the second known collection. Physalacria subpeltata is recombined and accepted as the type species of the new genus Anastrophella. All taxa are described, illustrated and compared with allied species.
