Hydropus nigrita Singer

Description

Hydropus nigrita (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Singer

Material studied. MEXICO - Quintana Roo • J.I. de la Fuente 266 (ITCV); Laguna Guerrero; 18°45′N, 088°11′W; alt. 9 m; 11 Jan. 2017.

Habit and habitat. Scattered on fallen logs in lowland forest.

Identification. This species can easily be identified by the olive-greenish pileus with black spots and the cream context that when cut stains black and sometimes exudes a latex-like substance. The material agrees with the description provided by Pegler (1983). The blackening context distinguishes this species from all other tropical Hydropus species.
