Narcissea lahorensis sp. nov. is described from Pakistan based on morpho-anatomical and phylogenetic analyses using ITS and LSU regions, as a third species of the genus Narcissea. It is characterized by small basidiomata, with the pileus (10 – 18 mm in diam.) having a pruinose surface covered with whitish floccose veil composed of globose to sub-globose elements, deeply plicate from margin to center with dull yellow orange center, brownish black edges of lamellae, a short stipe (13 – 20 × 0.8 – 1.8 mm) without annulus and volva, limoniform to rectangular, brownish black to reddish brown basidiospores, 7.6 − 9.3 × 6.2 – 8.1 μm, and polymorphic cheilocystidia and pleurocystidia. Our analyses confirmed that it is a distinct species in the genus Narcissea and is described here as new to science.
