Abstract
Three species of Gymnopilus are recorded for the first time from Central America. Gymnopilus crassitunicatus, collected in a Quercus forest in Costa Rica, is described as new. It differs from other species of the genus by its strongly verrucose spores with warts embedded in a perisporium, thick-walled pleurocystidia and caulocystidia, and hyphae from hymenophoral trama with pigment-encrusted walls. Gymnopilus robustus and G. rugulosus were described from Mexico. The former is now reported from Costa Rica and Panama, and the latter from Costa Rica. It is probable that both species are very common in tropical and subtropical Central America.
