Short description: Genus of fungi

Punjabia is a genus of fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. The genus is monotypic and contains the single species Punjabia pakistanicus which was previously classified as Coprinellus pakistanicus.^[1]

Taxonomy

The Punjabia genus was created in 2020 by the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer when the Psathyrellaceae family was subdivided based on phylogenetic analysis.^[2] Several members of the Psathyrella genus were reclassified and placed in new genera. A single species was placed in Punjabia.^{[citation needed]}

The type species, Punjabia pakistanicus was previously known as Coprinellus pakistanicus after being classified by the mycologists Muhammad Usman and Abdul Nasir Khalid in 2018 from a discovery in Pakistan.^[3]^[4]

Etymology

The genus is named after the Pakistani province of Punjab where the type species was documented.^[2]

Coprinellus pakistanicus was named for the location in which this species was discovered, Pakistan.^[4]

Habitat and distribution

Found in lowlands on moist soil under Acacia trees in Northern Pakistan.^[4]
