RODRIGUEZ, Olivia. The genus Pluteus (Agaricales, Pluteaceae) in Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2013, vol.84, suppl., pp.128-151. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.31610.

Of the 47 taxa previously cited for México, only the presence of 33 was confirmed. This work analyzes and discusses 11 of them due to certain identification problems, or to the fact that they are poorly known species; taxonomic comments are included as well as data that allow their morphological differentiation. For the study of these 11 taxa, 5 specimens type were examined, and additional reference specimens related to the reported species, in order to corroborate the identities. Additionally, a dichotomous key is provided for the 33 taxa in Mexico, and the distribution for some of these taxa is expanded.
