Stephanospora mayana (Stephanosporaceae, Russulales), a new sequestrate fungus from Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico

: Stephanosporamayana is presented as a new species from the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. This species is distinguished by the yellowish pileus, basidiospores with a small corona (4-6 × 1-2.5 µm), and variable size (8.0-17.0 × 6.0-11.0), thin pileus (21-40 µm) and the ecological association to lowland forest with Haematoxylumcampechianum, Gymnopodiumfloribundum, Coccolobadiversifolia, Metopiumbrownei and Pinuscaribaea. It differs from the American species of Stephanospora, like S.michoacanensis and S.chilensis, by its larger basidiospores. Descriptions, photographs and discussions are presented.
