Abstract
The Agaricales are the largest clade of mushroom-forming fungi, in Colombia, with 544 species of the approximately 16,000 species currently recognized worldwide in the phylum Basidiomycota. We document seven species of Agaricaceae for the first time from the Colombian Caribbean region. Two of these species are newly recorded from the country: Leucoagaricus lilaceus Singer and Leucoagaricus roseilividus (Murrill) E. Ludw. Five species are reported from the Colombian Caribbean for the first time: Agaricus griseorimosus Pegler, Chlorophyllum hortense (Murrill) Vellinga, Leucoagaricus rubrotinctus (Peck) Singer, Leucocoprinus cepistipes (Sowerby) Pat., and L. venezuelanus Dennis.

Summary
The Agaricales (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) constitute the largest clade of mushroom-forming fungi, including 40 families, 374 genera, and more than 16,000 species (He et al 2019; Phookamsak et al 2019; Wijayawardene et al 2020). In Colombia, Agaricales is the order of fungi with the greatest number of species, with 544 known (Putzke et al 2020; Vasco-Palacios and Franco-Molano 2021) of the total of 16,071 macrofungi of the phylum Basidiomycota worldwide (He et al 2019; Wijayawardene et al 2020). 83%, are recorded from the Andean region, followed by the Caribbean region with 6%; 11% is distributed in the rest of the country (FrancoMolano and Uribe-Calle 2000; Franco-Molano et al 2010; Vasco-Palacios and Franco-Molano 2013, 2021). We report seven Agaricales species from the Colombian Caribbean for the first time. Two of these species are newly recorded from the country. We provide illustrations and notes on the characteristics, distribution, and habitat of these species
