Abstract

Abstract: Currently described as part of Hymenogastraceae, <em>Gymnopilus comprises</em> up to 200 species distributed around the world, and 23 of these are found in Brazil. In this study, we discovered interesting specimens of <em>G. dilepis</em> growing with <em>Zoysia japonica</em> (Poaceae) grass in an urban area in the State of Paraíba. Originally described from Sri Lanka, this report treats a new and interesting record of this entity from Brazil. We also discuss whether to consider <em>G. lepidotus</em> as a synonym of <em>G. dilepis</em> based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence. Thus, as conclusion we prefer to maintain them as distinct entities and our material as <em>G. dilepis</em> based on morphological and ecological aspects.
