Echinoderma is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. Its members were for a long time considered to belong to genus Lepiota and the group was then circumscribed by French mycologist Marcel Bon in 1981 as a subgenus of Cystolepiota[1] before he raised it to generic status in 1991.[2]
General info
This genus belongs to a group of genera allied to Lepiota with a white spore print, free (or almost free) gills, stipe easily separable from the cap and having a partial veil.[3] Amongst the Agaricaceae it is characterized by the white spore powder, cap skin microscopically an epithelium with rounded cells, and a brownish cap and stipe, with brown scales.[4]
The name comes from the Greek "echinos" (ἐχῖνος) meaning a hedgehog or sea-urchin[5] and "derma" (δέρμα) meaning skin,[6] referring to the spiny cap surface. The noun "derma" is neuter and therefore if the species name is an adjective, it needs to take the neuter ending (example: Echinoderma asperum).
All of the species in the genus reproduce by means of spores and are unicellular.[7]
