The authors give an emended delimitation of the genus Morganella ZELLER (Gasteromycetes) and discuss its taxonomic position and its geographic distribution. Seven species are recognized; six new combinations are made and one new species (M. afra KREISEL & DRING) is described. The only original species, M. mexicana ZELLER, is a synonym of M. fuliginea (BERK. & CURT.) KREISEL & DRING, but one of the collections, cited by ZELLER as M. mexicana, belongs to M. velutina (BERK. ex MASS.) KREISEL & DRING.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
