Notes: Micropsalliota is a genus of Agaricaceae with 70 species distributed worldwide. This genus is highly diversity in tropical regions (Zhao et al. 2010; He et al. 2019). It is related to Xanthagaricus and has a tiny to medium sized, brown basidiospores (Zhao et al. 2010; Vellinga et al. 2011). Twenty-three species have been reported from Thailand, a neighboring country of Laos (Zhao et al. 2010). Based on morphology and molecular-phylogenetic analysis, we report the first records of M. globocystis Heinem. and M. gracilis Heinem. in Laos.
Type species: Micropsalliota pseudovolvulata Höhn. 1914 (Designated by Donk, Beih. Nova Hedwigia 5: 188. 1962).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Micropsalliota.
