Marasmius quercophilus Pouz. spec. nov. is most frequently identified with Marasmius splachnoides (Horném, ex Fr.) Fr. The original M. splachnoides is, however, a completely different fungus and as our species on oak leaves has no name it should be described as a new species. It is closely related to Marasmius androsaceus (L. ex Fr.) Fr. but it differs in pale pileus and lamellae and also by occurrence on leaves of Quercus and Castanea.
