A second record of Phaeocollybia megalospora var. tetraspora Singer, 1987 (Agaricales: Hymenogastraceae) from Brazil

Abstract

Phaeocollybia megalospora var. tetraspora was described from Amazonas State, and is reported now from Pará State, Brazil, as a second record. Phaeocollybia megalospora var. tetraspora is characterized by a conic pileus with the surface strongly viscid, and stipe with pseudorhiza. It differs from P. megalospora var. megalospora by the presence of four-spored basidia instead of two-spored. The present work provides macro- and micromorphological descriptions, illustrations and ITS and LSU sequences.
