Punjabia pakistanicus

Punjabia is a genus of fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. The genus is monotypic and contains the single species Punjabia pakistanicus which was previously classified as Coprinellus pakistanicus. [1]

Taxonomy

The Punjabia genus was created in 2020 by the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer when the Psathyrellaceae family was subdivided based on phylogenetic analysis. [2] Several members of the Psathyrella genus were reclassified and placed in new genera. A single species was placed in Punjabia.[ citation needed ]

The type species, Punjabia pakistanicus was previously known as Coprinellus pakistanicus after being classified by the mycologists Muhammad Usman and Abdul Nasir Khalid in 2018 from a discovery in Pakistan. [3] [4]

Etymology

The genus is named after the Pakistani province of Punjab where the type species was documented. [2]

Coprinellus pakistanicus was named for the location in which this species was discovered, Pakistan. [4]

Habitat and distribution

Found in lowlands on moist soil under Acacia trees in Northern Pakistan. [4]

<i>Coprinellus</i> Genus of fungi

Coprinellus is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. The genus was circumscribed by the Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1879. Most Coprinellus species were transferred from the once large genus Coprinus. Molecular studies published in 2001 redistributed Coprinus species to Psathyrella, or the segregate genera Coprinopsis and Coprinellus.
