Abstract:Species of
Micropsalliota
generally grow in the tropics and are characterised by small, slender basidiomes, brown basidiospores, and cheilocystidia that vary in shape with capitate or subcapitate apex, and pigmented pileipellis. Based on morphological characters and molecular evidence, here we describe seven new species from southern China, viz.
Micropsalliota ferruginea
,
M. fimbriata
,
M. gigaspora
