Abstract

Marasmius Fries (1835: 339) (Marasmiaceae, Agaricales, Basidiomycota, Fungi) is a saprotrophic genus with worldwide distribution. Tropical regions show a remarkable diversity of this genus where they play an essential role in litter decomposition in forest ecosystems. Singer (1958, 1976, 1986) who had a major role in developing the generic and infrageneric circumscriptions of Marasmius recognized 11 sections within Marasmius and this classification system was widely accepted until the end of the last century. However, recent molecular phylogenetic studies indicate that the genus is polyphyletic and Marasmius s.str. includes only the sections Marasmius, Globulares and Sicci (Moncalvo et al. 2002; Wilson & Desjardin 2005; Matheny et al. 2006). The section Globulares is characterized primarily by a hymeniform pileipellis with smooth elements, dextrinoid tramal hyphae, and a mycelium at the stipe base (Singer 1976; Anton?n 2007).
