Justification
Gyrophana pseudolacrymans was described from India in 1901 but has not been documented since. The validity of this species is uncertain and a taxonomic review is needed. The species is assessed as Data Deficient (DD).Taxonomic notes
Gyrophana pseudolacrymans is the only currently accepted species in the genus Gyrophana, with other species now considered part of different taxa. There seems to be some confusion regarding the taxonomic validity of this species. Merulius pseudolacrymans is the only synonym included in Species Fungorum (2023), but this species has been suggested as synonym of Serpula similis (Kumar and Harsh 2014).Geographic range
The species was described from a Saharanpur garden, Uttar Pradesh, India (Hennings 1901).Population and Trends
The species has not been recorded since its description, so it is not possible to estimate the current population size and trends.
