Leucocoprinus magnusianus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. [1] [2]
It was first described in 1891 by the German mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings who classified it as Lepiota magnusiana. [3]
The German mycologist Rolf Singer reclassified it as Hiatula magnusiana in 1943 [4] and then as Leucocoprinus magnusianus in 1949. [5]
Lepiota magnusiana only has a brief description provided by Hennings. It is described as having red flesh and a stem which discolours reddish. [3] This is a common feature in Lepiota species but would be unusual for a Leucocoprinus.
Cap: 1–5 cm wide, starting ovoid or cylindrical before expanding to campanulate (bell shaped) with thin flesh. The surface is white and covered in powdery scales whilst the centre discolours yellow with age and the cap edges are striated. Gills: Free, crowded and white. Stem: 2–7 cm tall and 2–3 mm thick with a white surface that discolours reddish and a hollow interior. The membranous stem ring has a woolly (floccose) texture. Spores: Ovoid. Smell: Indistinct.Taste: Indistinct. [3]
L. magnusianus is scarcely recorded and little known. [6] Hennings documented it from a hothouse in the Berlin botanical garden. [3]
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 cretaceus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It is likely tropical in origin although it was first documented in Europe where it was often found growing in greenhouses and bark beds. However many early observations conflate this species with Leucocoprinus birnbaumii or Leucocoprinus cepistipes despite sharing only some superficial similarities. This fungus is quite versatile even for a saprotroph and is often found growing in clusters on woodchips, sawdust and compost heaps as well as directly from the ground or on trees. It may also appear in plant pots and greenhouses in colder countries in which it is not well equipped to survive outside.
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.
Leucocoprinus straminellus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. Like 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. Leucocoprinus straminellus is described as being similar to the more commonly known Leucocoprinus birnbaumii but it is smaller and a lighter shade of yellow with smaller spores that lack a germ pore. It is also described as being superficially similar to Leucocoprinus fragilissimus but slightly more robust with flesh that is less translucent.
