Leucocoprinus minutulus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. [1] [2]
It was first described in 1941 by the German mycologist Rolf Singer who classified it as Leucocoprinus minutulus. [3]
Leucocoprinus minutulus is a small dapperling mushroom with thin white flesh.
Cap: 1.2cm wide with a brown surface and darker umbo. The margins are scaly and lacerated. Stem: 3cm long and 2-3mm wide with a slightly bulbous base. The surface is smooth and shiny and the interior is filled with white. The exterior colour is only described when dry, when it is brownish. The movable, double stem ring is very wide at 7mm, horizontally flat and is white-brown with light fringes at the edges. Gills: Free and remote from the stem, crowded and moderately wide at approximately 2mm. They are white but dry to a brownish colour. Spores: 7.5-11 x 5.8-6 μm. Hyaline with an apical germ pore and double membrane. Basidia: 28-33 x 8-9 μm. Four spored. Cheilocystidia: Numerous. 42-65 x 10-16.5 μm with an appendix that is 9-12 μm long. Clavato-appendiculatis (ampulliformibus). [3] [4]
L. minutulus is scarcely recorded and little known. The specimens studied by Singer were found in mixed forest containing Abies Nordmanniana and Fagus orientalis , in the valley of the river in the Krasnodar region of Russia. [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 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 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.
