Abstract
Volvariella cubensis (Murrill) Shaffer is distinguished by the dark-gray and fibrillose pileus, pinkish free gills and the thick, brownish volva. This species is described and illustrated from the state of Tamaulipas in northeastern Mexico and constitutes the first record for the country, as well as the northernmost occurrence of V. cubensis in America. Descriptions, photographs, and discussion are presented.
