Abstract

We describe three new species, Gymnopus imbricatus, G. ceraceicola and G. hakaroa, from New Zealand that are similar to G. foetidus (= Micromphale foetidum), growing on wood, with an insititious stipe and foetid odour. The position of these species within the /gymnopoid clade is confirmed by ITS sequence analysis.
