A new alamellate Hygrocybe species from Ecuador

The first known species of Hygrocybe with a smooth hymenophore is described based on material from the eastern slopes of Andean Ecuador. It is considered as incertae sedis in the genus due to a lack of conclusive morphological characters and in the absence of sequence data. (c) 2008 The British Mycological Society.
