(Basidiomycota, Agaricales, Psathyrellaceae), is a new Coprinoid ammonia fungus from broadleaf mixed forest in Vietnam. In macro- and micromorphology, this species is similar to C. cinerea, but differs in having upheaved and humpbacked abaxial side shape of basidiospores. Phylogenetic analysis with nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) data also supports this new taxon.
