Atik Retnowati, Helbert & Supeni Sufaati 2024. A new distribution record of Deconica overeemii (Agaricales, Strophariaceae). Floribunda 7(4): 182–191 — Deconica overeemii has been previously      reported from Java (Indonesia) and São Tomé Island (Africa), and we reported a new distribution record of the species  from  Sorong,  Papua  (Indonesia). The collection of  D. overeemii  was  made  during  the     mycological survey to Sorong in July 2022. The species recognized by having brown, with acute-conical papilla  pileus,  closed  with  2–3  lamellulae,  ellipsoid-rhomboid  basidiospores,  and  clavate to mucronate-clavate,  chryocystidia-like  pleurocystidia.  The  identification  process  of  Papuan  materials  using       morphological characters supported by molecular data derived from ITS nrDNA produced D. overeemii. The species is similar to D. thailandensis and D. aureicystidiata. Fresh images of fruiting bodies, microscopic characters, and similar taxa are provided.
