Nomenclatural Overview of Lepiotaceous Fungi (Agaricaceae)
Version 4.8

“
A careful business man takes an inventory of stock on
hand at certain intervals in the development of his
business. It would appear that this common-sense
procedure could be applied equally to systematic
mycology, and that if the knowledge on hand were put
together in compact form, and the species no longer
known or names no longer tenable could be thrown on
the rubbish heap, a large amount of confusion and error
in our accounts of existing plants
1
would be eliminated.
”
Kauffman (1924)

In Kauffman’s time, fungi were considered to be plants, now we know that fungi and plants are
not closely related and both form their own kingdoms: Fungi and Viridiplantae.

Version 4.8
is augmented with many new data (e.g. ten Micropsalliota taxa
from Thailand, 20 taxa from India published in 2009, nine new
Leucoagaricus species from the U.S.A., several taxa from Argentina and
Brazil, a new variety from Madagascar described in the 1920s, and the
yeast forming cultivar of the genus Cyphomyrmex), new references and
descriptions, notably of species described by Peck, some collected during
my stay in the library of the National Herbarium in Leiden, the
Netherlands, in February 2009.
Version 4.7 differs in small details from the earlier versions, with some
updated author names, some more web references, two new species, some
new combinations, some more
Agaricus
names and many miscellaneous
minutiae.
New formatting, and colour coding of the descriptions should make it easier
to use. All notes are now in square brackets below the entry.
Version 4.6 sees two new Lepiota species from a hothouse in Germany
included, species that also occur on the Hawai’ian islands. Species not
considered belonging to the Agaricaceae are now colour coded in
blue
,
those accommodated in the Amanitaceae are in
purple
.
With version 4.5 began the addition, in many instalments, of
Agaricus
species, starting with those described in the last 10 years. All species in the
Agaricus clade are indicated by
{Agaricus}
at the end of the entry.
Chamaemyces carmelensis is a new species from Israel.
Version 4.4 started off with the new variety Lepiota oregonensis var.
macrospora. Smithiogaster volvoagaricus and Attamyces bromatificus have
also been added. Descriptions of species described by Murrill and
Burlingham have been incorporated.
Version 4.3 contained eight more names than version 4.2:
Lepiota decipiens,
Lepiota amianthina var. evae, Lepiota nainitala, Lepiota
mastoidea var. pobudae, Lepiota polinea, Lepiota sulphurea,
Lepiota
procera var. umbrosa, and Allopsalliota geesterani.
Links to free on-line sources for literature were given.
New for version 4.0 was the list of references for the type studies and other
commentary cited within the square brackets, at the end of the file.
Also new for version 4.0 was the list of species which have a full
description in the text.

The purpose of this list is to collect all names that have been published at the species level and
below in the agaricoid genera of the Agaricaceae and to provide them with literature references.
The list contains over 1600 names and the genera covered include Allopsalliota, Chamaemyces,
Chlorophyllum, Clarkeinda, Cystolepiota, Endoptychum, Echinoderma, Heinemannomyces,
Hiatulopsis, Hymenagaricus, Janauaria, Lepiota, Leucoagaricus, Leucocoprinus,
Lepiotophyllum, Macrolepiota, Melanophyllum, Micropsalliota, Neosecotium, Pulverolepiota,
Rugosospora, Schulzeria, Sericeomyces, Smithiogaster, Smithiomyces, Termiticola, and
Xanthagaricus. A slowly growing number of Agaricus taxa is incorporated. Cystoagaricus and
Notholepiota, though not belonging to the Agaricaceae, are also included.
A separate file with all generic names in the Agaricaceae (including Coprinus and gasteroid
taxa), and family synonyms is also available (Vellinga, E.C., 2009. Nomenclatural overview of
genera in the Agaricaceae Chevall. Version 4.1. 12 pages).
The names were primarily derived from the Index of Fungi (both the paper and on-line versions),
Petrak's lists, and Saccardo's Sylloge Fungorum, especially volume 5 (1887). The references
were found through an extensive literature search. A few sources proved impossible to trace, and
the 30 or so entries where references are missing or incomplete are flagged with three question
marks: "???"
The list will change as new taxa are discovered and described and as developments in phylogeny
and classification introduce new combinations and taxa. The intention is to bring the list up-to-
date twice a year, each time adding one to the version number. Minor changes may be made at
any time with decimal increments to the version number. Each revision will also contain the date
it is posted.
To be current, revisit this site regularly!
The list is organized alphabetically by epithet, whether it be at the species or a lower level. This
means that Lepiota alba and L. alba f. silvatica are found under 'A' and 'S' respectively. To find
all infraspecific taxa for a given epithet, you should search on that epithet.
Within individual entries the order and amount of information is not always consistent.
Some supplementary material is placed between square brackets: descriptions (see list on page 5
and 6), notes, remarks, whether the species is regarded as a synonym of another species, and by
whom, references to type studies etc. However, this information is not comprehensive and is
included rather arbitrarily. It is also quite personal; in some cases I regard species as
synonymous, but other workers in the field would disagree. The type collection and the country
of origin are other examples of data that are sometimes provided.
Names in current use are not indicated.
The list of references for the type studies and other commentary cited within the square brackets
is given at the end of the file.
A secotioid lifeform is indicated by {SEC} at the end of the entry.
Species in the Agaricus clade (the genera Agaricus, Allopsalliota, Heinemannomyces,
Hymenagaricus, Micropsalliota, Psalliota, Smithiogaster, and Xanthagaricus) are indicated by
{Agaricus}
at the end of the entry.
A list of species which have a full description in this file is given on pages 5-6.
