NEW RECORDS OF GEASTRACEAE (BASIDIOMYCOTA: PHALLOMYCETIDAE) FROM ATLANTIC RAINFOREST REMNANTS AND RELICTS OF NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL
The family Geastraceae encompasses two gasteroid genera, Geastrum Pers.
Geastraceae is considered the second most representative family of gasteroid fungi in Brazil, with an estimated 50 recorded species, Geastrum being the most diverse genus in the country (Trierveiler-Pereira & Baseia, 2009; Leite et al., 2011; Trierveiler-Pereira et al., 2011; Silva et al., 2011, 2013).
