SILVA-FILHO, Alexandre G. dos Santos; SEGER, Cristiane  and  CORTEZ, Vagner Gularte. The neurotropic genus Copelandia (Basidiomycota) in western Paraná State, Brazil. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2018, vol.89, n.1, pp.15-21. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ib.20078706e.2018.1.1994.

In a survey of the agaricoid fungi from the western region of Paraná State, south Brazil, 2 species of Copelandia were identified. Copelandia cyanescens is a common and widely distributed coprophilous species with typical bluing reaction. Copelandia mexicana is a rare and poorly known mushroom, lignicolous and not conspicuously bluing, with distinctive macro- and micromorphological features. This is a new record from South America. Both species are described and illustrated in detail, and discussed regarding distribution, taxonomy and nomenclature.

Keywords : Agaricales; Brazilian fungi; Dark-spored fungi; Hallucinogenic mushrooms.
