Description
As described by Miles Joseph Berkeley (1847):[2]
- On the ground. Peradenia, Ceylon. June, 1844. Pileus campanulate obtuse 1½ inch broad, white, noduloso squamose clothed with a glutinous veil, portions of which remain attached to the margin, while others form transverse scales on the stem exactly as in Cortinaria collinita. Stem 3 inches high, 2 lines thick in the centre, attenuated upwards, almost bulbous below. Gills white.
Taxonomical history
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 1847 | This species was first described by Miles Joseph Berkeley using the specimen collection from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). He named this species Agaricus albuminosus.[2] |
| 1887 | Pier Andrea Saccardo renamed this species Lepiota albuminosa.[3] |
| 1891 | Otto Kuntze renamed this species Mastocephalus albuminosus.[4] Mastocephalus is a synonym of Leucocoprinus. |
| 1912 | Thomas Petch identified the original specimens as termite mushrooms, renamed this species Collybia albuminosa, and listed Collybia eurhiza (now Termitomyces eurrhizus) a synonym of this species.[5] |
| 1927 | Casper van Overeem renamed this species Gymnopus albuminosus. |
| 1941 | Roger Heim renamed this species Termitomyces albuminosus.[6] |
| 1969 | David Pegler and R. W. Rayner commented that the identification by Petch (1912) of the original specimens failed to address their microscopic morphology.[7] |
| 1972 | Pegler renamed this species Macrolepiota albuminosa.[8] |
| 1977 | Heim redescribed Termitomyces albuminosus using specimens from India.[9] |
| 1979 | Krishnamoorthy Natarajan examined the 1977 specimen collection, and newly described a species Termitomyces heimii to accommodate these specimens.[10] |
| 1986 | Pegler listed Macrolepiota albuminosa a synonym of Leucocoprinus cepistipes.[11] |
