| Sumario: | Background and aims: Volvariella volvacea is a tropical to subtropical species, known
from Southeastern Asia, Europe and America with isolated records from Africa, and
Oceania, but there is no previous record of this species from Argentina. The aim of
this work is to extend its distribution range to Argentina.
M&M: Specimens were collected in Corrientes Province and were deposited in
the mycological collection of the CTES herbarium. For their identification and
description, they were analyzed macro and microscopically following the traditional
methodology.
Results: This species is characterized by its large pileus (50–100 mm), with dark
brown surface and abundant fissures that reveal the grayish context among them,
its humicolous habit and its 6–11 μm long spores.
Conclusions: V. volvacea is a species commonly associated with anthropic
environments. Its presence in South America can be considered as introduced,
considering that it was found on sugarcane bagasse and on compost inside
greenhouses. This species is described and illustrated for the first time for Argentina. |
