Leucocoprinus revolutus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. [1] [2]
It was described in 1937 by the mycologist Johannes Rick who classified it as Lepiota revoluta. [3] Rick also noted a possible similarity to Lepiota spodolepsis as classified by Berk. & Broome however this species is not recorded in Species Fungorum or Mycobank and no citation is given for the text in which it may have been described. [3]
In 1987 it was reclassified as Leucocoprinus revolutus by the mycologist Jörg Raithelhuber. [4]
Leucocoprinus revolutus is a small dapperling mushroom.
Cap: 8-13mm wide starting hemispherical before expanding and curving upwards with a small umbo. The surface is grey-blackish with striations from the margins and the cap flesh is membranous or fibrous. Gills: White, moderately densely spaced, bulging with smooth edges. Stem: 2 cm long and 2mm wide, stiff and filamentous. The surface is pale and smooth with a whitish ring. Spores: Raithelhuber described the spores as 'Oval, smooth. 7–8.1 x 4.4-5.2 μm.' [4] However the spore size given by Rick is 5-6 x 3-4 μm. [3]
The specific epithet revolutus is Latin for rolled backward. [5] This is in reference to the description of the cap shape given in Latin by Rick of 'hemisphaerico-revoluto'.
The specimens were found growing on the ground in Brazil. [4]
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 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.
