Volvariella leucocalix is a species of fungus in the family Pluteaceae. Its name is attributed to the white volva pertaining to the species. More specifically, the name comes from the Greek words, ‘leuco’, meaning a whitish color, and ‘calix’, meaning cup. First described by Sa MCA and Felipe Wartchow in 2016 as a species of Volvariella.[1]
