Protostropharia, type species P. semiglobata, is a coprophilous agaric fungal genus that produces glutinous, yellowish fruit bodies. Characteristically it forms chrysocystidia and rather large, smooth, violaceous basidiospores each with a prominent germ pore. It is differentiated from Stropharia by production of astrocystidia on its mycelium rather than by acanthocytes that Stropharia produces.[1][2] Phylogenetically, Protostropharia is distinct from Stropharia, Pholiota, and Leratiomyces.[3][4]
Etymology
The name Protostropharia refers to the less anatomically complex astrocystidia (Greek proto-) as compared to the acanthocytes in Stropharia.
