Secotium
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Secotium is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The members of this genus are closely related to ordinary Agaricus mushrooms, but do not open out in the usual way; this has given rise to the term "secotioid" for such mushrooms in general. They are thought to form an evolutionary link between agarics and gasteroid fungi (whose spores are enclosed in a pouch-like structure). Secotium is a widespread genus, with species that are predominantly found in warm and arid regions.[1]

The secotioid species Agaricus deserticola used to be named Secotium texense before its strong connection to Agaricus caused it to be reclassified. Similarly, in New Zealand Clavogaster virescens was described as both Secotium superbum and Secotium virescens, Leratiomyces erythrocephalus as Secotium erythrocephalum and Psilocybe weraroa as Secotium novae-zelandicus.
