Specimens examined. PERU. Ancash: Recuay, Conococha , route PE-3N, km 508, 4058 m, 10º03′44”S, 77º19′17”W, 25 May 2014, stem of Baccharis sp. and leaves of grass alive, Lado 23925 (MA-Fungi 95571), stem of Baccharis and herbs, Lado 23926 (MA-Fungi 95572) GoogleMaps .

Notes. The morphology matched the species description in Poulain et al. (2011) and Nannenga-Bremekamp (1991) in the double-layered peridium, dehiscence circumscissile, capillitium type, and spore diameter; however, the ornamenting the spores form by warts closed in a subreticulum has not been observed in the Peruvian specimens.
