First record of Badhamia gigantospora from Brazil

During the study of the mycobiota of the Auguste Saint-Hilaire Forest, an area of the Cerrado biome in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, sporocarps of Badhamia gigantospora were collected. A sample was incorporated into the Herbarium collection of the Universidade Estadual de Goiás (HUEG). This rare species was previously reported only for Argentina, Ecuador, Tanzania, and now for Brazil, so this is the second record for the Neotropical region. In addition to expanding the known geographical distribution of B. gigantospora, we provide detailed morphological descriptions, illustrations, and a identification key for the species of the genus that occur in Brazil.
