Abstract Twelve species and subspecific taxa of Laccaria (Agaricales) occurring in New Zealand are described and illustrated (including line drawings of microscopic characters) : Laccaria echinospora (Speg.) Singer, L. fibrillosa sp. nov., L. glab-ripes sp. nov., L. lilacina G. Stevens., L. masonii G. Stevens., L. masonii var. brevispinosa var. nov., L. ohiensis (Mont.) Singer, L. ohiensis var. paraphysata var. nov., L. proximo (Boud.) Pat., L. tetraspora i. tetraspora Singer, L. tetra-spora f. major Singer, and L. violaceo-niger G. Stevens.

All these species normally accompany Nothofagus, Leptospermum, Pomader-ris. or exotic genera known to form ectotrophic mycorrhizas, and eight of them appear to be indigenous.

A key to the species is given and doubtful records of species in New Zealand discussed.
