Stropharia acanthostipitata is a Hypholoma-like, ring-less Stropharia described in 2017 from the Caribbean and northern South America, with an ochre-yellow to brownish cap and a strong radish smell. It grows in clusters on plant debris and decaying or buried wood. It is not in cultivation; the growing notes are an experiment built from the protologue habitat and the measured lowland tropical climate.
