Material studied. MEXICO - Quintana Roo • J. I. de la Fuente 82 ( ITCV); Chetumal; 18°31′N, 088°18′W; alt. 8 m; 01 Jul. 2014 GoogleMaps .

Habit and habitat. Scattered under Coccoloba uvifera in coastal vegetation.

Identification. This species can be recognized by the cream pileus that becomes lilac towards the margin, the white, fragile lamellae without lamellulae, the association with Coccoloba species , and the verrucose, subreticulate, subglobose basidiospores of 6–8 × 5–6.5 µm. Our material agrees with the description provided by Pegler (1983) but presents paler basidiomata. Russula diversicolor Pegler is a tropical species but it differs in hav- ing a yellowish basidioma ( Pegler 1983).
