Morganella is a
genus of
puffball fungi in the family
Agaricaceae. The genus name honors American botanist
Andrew Price Morgan (1836–1907).[3] The widely distributed genus is prevalent in
tropical areas. A 2008 estimate placed nine species in Morganella,[4] but several new species have since been described.
