Narcissea

Narcissea is a genus of fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae.

Taxonomy
The Narcissea genus was created in 2020 by the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer when the Psathyrellaceae family was subdivided based on phylogenetic analysis. Two members of the Coprinopsis genus were reclassified as Narcissea. A study in 2021 by mycologist Pietro Voto placed a third species, Coprinopsis cardiaspora in this genus.

The type species, Narcissea patouillardii was previously classified as Coprinopsis patouillardii.

Etymology
This genus is named after the French mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard.

Species
As of December 2023 Species Fungorum accepted three species of Narcissea: • Narcissea cardiaspora

• Narcissea cordispora

• Narcissea patouillardii
