An annotated checklist of the macrofungi (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Glomeromycota) from Quintana Roo, Mexico

Abstract

According to records available in the literature, 380 species of fungi and fungus-like organisms are known for the state of Quintana Roo on the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. We carried out mycological surveys in this state, following the classical methods for collecting, describing, and curating macrofungi. As a result of our research, 21 species are recorded for the first time for Quintana Roo, and Amanita arenicola O. K. Milller & Lodge, Inocybe xerophytica Pegler, and Russula cremeolilacina Pegler are recorded for the first time for Mexico. The distinctive characteristics and photographs are provided for the new records. As a result of this study, 401 species of macrofungi are known for Quintana Roo.

Outstanding Pinkish Brown-Spored Neotropical Boletes:Austroboletus subflavidusandFistulinella gloeocarpa(Boletaceae, Boletales) from the Dominican Republic

“…Guzmán described F. mexicana from evergreen lowland cloud forests in the Yucatan peninsula, southern-eastern Mexico [ 52 ] in putative association with Coccoloba spp. [ 114 ]. This species is distinguished from F. gloeocarpa by the yellowish brown or grayish, irregularly areolate pileus surface, presence of a colorless mucilaginous volva at the stipe base, slightly shorter basidiospores (8.1–12.2 × 4.1–5.9 µm), smaller, clavate pleurocystidia (24–43 × 5–8 µm), cheilocystidia none, cylindrical-globose caulocystidia (35–48 × 12–16 µm), narrower pileipellis hyphae (2.5–6.5 µm wide) and sometimes with an apparently lignicolous growth [ 20 , 30 , 52 , 114 , 115 ].…”

“…This species has most recently check listed for the Mexican state of Quintana Roo by de la Fuente et al. [ 114 ].…”

“…Fistulinella venezuelae differs by the whitish to yellowish pileus at the margin with yellow ochraceous to tawny center, ochraceous-ferruginous tints in the upper part of the stipe at maturity and pale yellowish to brownish gray mealy punctuations in the lower portion, white context with a pale ochraceous peripheral zone, absence of velar covering, weakly bitterish taste, elongate fusiform-cylindrical, Guzm an described F. mexicana from evergreen lowland cloud forests in the Yucatan peninsula, southern-eastern Mexico [52] in putative association with Coccoloba spp. [114]. This species is distinguished from F. gloeocarpa by the yellowish brown or grayish, irregularly areolate pileus surface, presence of a colorless mucilaginous volva at the stipe base, slightly shorter basidiospores (8.1-12.2 Â 4.1-5.9 mm), smaller, clavate pleurocystidia (24-43 Â 5-8 mm), cheilocystidia none, cylindricalglobose caulocystidia (35-48 Â 12-16 mm), narrower pileipellis hyphae (2.5-6.5 mm wide) and sometimes with an apparently lignicolous growth [20,30,52,114,115].…”

Leucocoprinus cepistipes has a pantropical distribution, and in America, it has been recorded in Mexico (Guzmán 1983;de la Fuente et al 2020), the Lesser Antilles, Martinique, Dominica, Antigua, Trinidad, Jamaica, and the Bahamas (Pegler 1983), Argentina (Campi et al 2015), Brazil (Rother and da Silveira 2009b), and Paraguay (Campi et al 2015).
