Volvariella diplasia

Volvariella diplasia is a tropical sheath mushroom first described from Sri Lanka by Berkeley and Broome and moved to Volvariella by Singer in 1951. GBIF also holds records from India, Costa Rica and New Caledonia. It has no cultivation record, so conditions come from the measured sites and from tropical relatives such as the paddy-straw mushroom.

Where it grows wild

Little habitat detail is published. Like other tropical Volvariella it probably fruits on rotting plant debris and rich soil in the wet season.

Records span 50–1150 m; most measured sites are in Costa Rica's Central Valley at about 1150 m.
