Abstract
Marasmius albopurpureus, a new species belonging to section Globulares, was found on a subtropical island, Baili Island, in southern China. It is characterized by its white to purple rugulose to sulcate pileus, distant and sometimes underdeveloped lamellae, and long basidiospores. It is described, illustrated and compared with similar taxa according to the morphological and molecular data.
