Leucocoprinus bakeri is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. [1] [2]
It was first described in 1952 by the British mycologist Richard William George Dennis who classified it as Lepiota bakeri. [3]
In 1982, it was reclassified as Leucocoprinus bakeri by the German mycologist Rolf Singer. [4]
Leucocoprinus bakeri is a small dapperling mushroom with white flesh. [3]

Stem: Bulbous at the base and tapering to the tip with a pinkish-buff surface that has woolly (tomentose) scales below the ring. The membranous stem ring is located towards the top of the stem (superior) and is white with brown edges. Gills: Free, crowded (5-6mm) and white. Spores: Elliptical, dextrinoid, 5-7 x 3.5-4 μm. [3]
L. bakeri is scarcely recorded and little known. It has been found in Costa Rica and Trinidad. [3] [4]
Leucocoprinus cepistipes, is a species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It is typically found on wood debris, such as wood chips but may also grow in potted plants or greenhouses. Typical characteristics include a fine-scaled bell-shaped cap, a partial veil, and a tendency to bruise a yellow to brown when handled.
Leucocoprinus brebissonii is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It is commonly called the skullcap dapperling due to its distinctive pattern on the cap. This mushroom was only thought to be found in Europe but it has since been observed in the Pacific Northwest and may also be found in Asia.
Leucocoprinus ianthinus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. Like several other Leucocoprinus species it may have originated in a tropical climate but now finds a home in plant pots, greenhouses and compost piles in many countries. It is not seen in plant pots with the same kind of regularity as the well known Leucocoprinus birnbaumii and not seen in the wild as frequently as Leucocoprinus brebissonii.
