Abstract

Oxyporus delgadoi Márquez, Asiain & Fierros-López, sp. nov. is described based on seven specimens collected on mushrooms of the genus Pholiota near Zacualtipán, Hidalgo, Mexico. The new species is similar to O. flohri Sharp known from Veracruz, Mexico and Guatemala, and represents the seventh Mexican species of Oxyporus. New locality records and taxonomical comments are provided for O. lawrencei Campbell and O. flohri.
