Narcissea is a genus of fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. ^[1]

Taxonomy

The Narcissea genus was created in 2020 by the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer when the Psathyrellaceae family was subdivided based on phylogenetic analysis. ^[2] Two members of the Coprinopsis genus were reclassified as Narcissea. A study in 2021 by mycologist Pietro Voto placed a third species, Coprinopsis cardiaspora in this genus. ^[3]

The type species, Narcissea patouillardii was previously classified as Coprinopsis patouillardii.

Etymology

This genus is named after the French mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard. ^[2]

Species

As of December 2023 Species Fungorum accepted three species of Narcissea: ^[4]

• Narcissea cardiaspora
• Narcissea cordispora
• Narcissea patouillardii
