NEW RECORDS OF HYGROCYBE HYGROCYBOIDES (KÜHNER) ARNOLDS (FUNGI, BASIDIOMYCOTA, HYGROCYBEAE)

Recent collections from South Greenland and northern Sweden are referred to Hygrocybe hygrocyboides (Kuhner) Arnolds, a species closely related to Hygrocybe pratensis (Pers.: Fr.) Murrill. These collections deviate slightly from the holotype both in macroscopic and microscopic characters. However, these differences are ascribed to intraspecific variation within this little known taxon. The new records of Hygrocybe hygrocyboides are the first outside The Alps.
