A novel species, Leucoagaricus pabbiensis , is described and illustrated from Pabbi Forest Park, Punjab, Pakistan. The new species belongs to Leucoagaricus sect. Leucoagaricus and is characterized by a dark reddish brown central disc on a milky white pileus with radial reddish orange fibrils towards the margin. The creamy stipe, which is longer than the pileus is wide, has an ascending annulus; the basidiospores are lacrymoid to amygdaliform and dextrinoid; cheilocystidia are clavate to narrowly clavate; and both stipitipellis and pileipellis are made up of septate hyphae arranged as a cutis. The new agaric closely resembles L. badius but the novelty of L. pabbiensis is confirmed by morphological and molecular characters.
