Leucocoprinus pepinosporus is a species of mushroom-producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. [1] [2]
It was first described in 1977 by the Belgian mycologist Paul Heinemann who classified it as Leucocoprinus pepinosporus. [3]
Leucocoprinus pepinosporus is a small dapperling mushroom. The description given by Heinemann is scant and does not provide much detail.
Cap: The surface is white with greyish-brown scales in the centre disc. The cap is submembranous with striated edges. No dimensions are provided in the description. Stem: It has a thick base and a fragile ring but no other details are provided. The colour is described as 'white then pink' but it is unclear if this is referring to pink discolouration with age, bruising or different colouration across the stem surface as it also says white stem flesh and pink below the cap. Spores: 11.2–13.5 x 7.4–8.1 μm. Amygdaliform with apical elongation but no germ pore. Cheilocystidia: 45–50 x 14–20 (28) μm. Lanceolate. [3]
L. pepinosporus is scarcely recorded and little known. The specimens studied by Heinemann were found growing in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They were collected in Panzi, in the region of Lake Edward and Lake Kivu. [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 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.
Leucocoprinus flavus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae.
Leucocoprinus beelianus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae.
Leucocoprinus muticolor is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae.
Leucocoprinus discoideus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. In the local language when the mushroom cap is open it is known as batakania or bepokua pembe when it is immature with a closed cap. However 'bepokua' may also be used to refer to other similar looking mushroom species such as Micropsalliota bambusicola.
