Narcissea is a genus of fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae.[1]
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.[2] 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.[3]
The type species, Narcissea patouillardii was previously classified as Coprinopsis patouillardii.
This genus is named after the French mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard.[2]
As of December 2023 Species Fungorum accepted three species of Narcissea:[4]
