Summary
During the study of Agaric flora of Northern Kerala, we came across a species belonging to the genus Crepidotus. It was found to be a new record from India. Manjula (1983) listed five species of Crepidotus viz. C. Cystidiosus, C. eucalypticola, C. uber, C. applanatus and C. alveolus as known from India. The first three were collected from Tamil Nadu state by Natarajan and Raman (1981) and later they (Natarajan and Raman, 1983) added two more species C. applanatus and C. nephrodes to the Indian records. Vrinda et al (2000) reported two species, C. citrinus, and C. pezizula from Western Ghats. Mohanan (2011) added five species viz. C_calolepis, C. epicrocinus, C. grumosopilosus, C. melleus and C. reversus to the Indian records
