Clarkeinda is a genus of fungi in the Agaricaceae family.[1] According to the Dictionary of the Fungi,[2] the widespread genus contains five species.[3] Species in this genus, especially Clarkeinda trachodes, are only distributed in south Asia and southeast Asia.[4][5]

Taxonomy

Otto Kuntze circumscribed the genus in 1891.[6] The first part of the generic name Clarkeinda honors British botanist Charles Baron Clarke, and -einda is derived from the Greek 'Iνδóς, meaning "pertaining to India".[7]
