Fungal Species: Dermoloma hymenocephalum

Nomenclatural review of names published in the fungal genus Dermoloma (Basidiomycota, Agaricales, Tricholomataceae) based on morphological analyses of type specimens

Scientists have carefully re-examined nine fungal specimens from the genus Dermoloma that serve as the reference standards for naming these mushroom species. Using detailed microscopic analysis, they found that some specimens previously classified as Dermoloma actually belong to different genera, while others represent distinct species. This work helps clarify the true identity of Dermoloma mushrooms and provides a stable foundation for accurately naming new species discovered in the future.

Nomenclatural review of names published in the fungal genus Dermoloma (Basidiomycota, Agaricales, Tricholomataceae) based on morphological analyses of type specimens

This study examines nine type specimens of mushrooms in the genus Dermoloma, which are small fungi found in grasslands and forests. Researchers used microscopic analysis to describe detailed features of these specimens and determine which ones truly belong to the Dermoloma genus. The study found that three species previously classified as Dermoloma actually belong to different genera, while clarifying the identity of other species that had not been formally recorded in recent years.
