New fungus species discovered in India


This video from the northern hemisphere is called Autumn Fungi.

From the International Journal of Fungal Diversity:

Two brown-spored agarics are described from Kerala State. Tubaria virescens is described as new, being distinct on account of the blue-green discoloration when bruised and remarkably large, subcylindrical spores. Based on collections of Panaeolina rhombisperma Hongo from Kerala, its taxonomic position is discussed, suggesting that it may well be transferred to the genus Psathyrella.
