Second report of coprinoid fungi (Psathyrellaceae, Agaricales) in the Dominican Republic

Abstract

Continuing the study of coprinoid fungi of the Dominican Republic (see Angelini, Voto & Alvarado 2023), two more taxa are reported with morphological and molecular data: Coprinopsis nivea, with a peculiar set of spore characters combined with a coprophilous habitat, and Parasola lilatincta, characterized by lilaceous tints on the pileus, and broad, tridimensional spores with an eccentric germ pore. Both species are not strictly specific to the tropics, being present in different climate zones.
