Ceropemyces grow in arid regions and resemble saprophytic Amanita that are sometimes classified as Saproamanita and that also grow in arid regions. The type species grows near mountain mahogany.[1]
Etymology edit
The name Ceropemyces was derived from the Ancient Greek name for mischievous forest creatures, the Cercopes, and -mykes (fungus).[1]
