Abstoma is a genus of gasteroid fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The type species, A. purpureum, was described from New Zealand by mycologistGordon Herriot Cunningham in 1926.^[1] Wright and colleagues transferred A. stuckertii (originally Bovista stuckertiiSpeg.) to the genus in 1990,^[3] but Moreno et al. proposed a new combination Disciseda stuckertii in 2007.^[4]A. fimbrialis was described from Baja California, Mexico, in 1992.^[5]A. townei is found in western and southwest USA and in west Argentina, while A. reticulatum occurs in Australia and the western and southwestern USA.^[4]
