Abstract

In the present study, eleven new records of gasteroid fungi are described in different areas of the Brazilian Cerrado biome, distributed in three families: Geastraceae, Lycoperdaceae, and Nidulariaceae. The species Cyathus amazonicus, C. aurantiogriseocarpus, C. aff. badius, C. aff. earlei, C. gracilis, and C. magnomuralis correspond to the first records for the Brazilian Cerrado. Geastrum minimum, Calvatia nodulata, C. bicolor, and Cyathus stercoreus correspond to the second record for the Brazilian Cerrado. Lycoperdon fuligineum corresponds to the fourth record in the Cerrado areas of Brazil. The rare species Cyathus aurantiogriseocarpus and C. magnomuralis have been described again, for the first time, almost 10 years after their discovery. Both species represent the second record for science and for Brazil. The taxa described are presented on plates with detailed photographs and micrographs for each species and a map of the collection sites.
