 Notes. This species is very variable morphologically, and some authors distinguish among three varieties according to the spore diameter (Poulain et al. 2011): var. affinis, (12)13–15(17) µm, var. armillata, (15)17–18(19) µm, and var. microspora, 8–10 µm. Peruvian specimens matched the description of var. armillata, with the spores ranging from 15–17 µm and with a conspicuous pale band (Yamamoto 1998).
