Based on the observation of 237 specimens deposited in the Mycological Herbarium of Jilin Agricultural University (HMJAU), Mycological Herbarium of Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (HMAS), Herbarium of Cryptogams, Kunming Institute of Botany, Academia Sinica (HKAS), and Mycological Herbarium of the Microbiology Institute of Guangdong (HMIGD), 20 species were recorded, 14 species of Stropharia and 6 species of Naematoloma, including 2 new species, 1 new variety, 3 new records for China, and 7 species, 3 forma were new records in some province.Stropharia chrysocystidia Meng T. X. et Tolgor and Naematoloma discodium Meng T. X. et Tolgor were new species, Stropharia aeruginosa (Fr.) Quélet var. earthworm was new variety, Stropharia dorsipora Esteve-Rav. & Barrasa, Stropharia halophila Pacioni and Naematoloma subviride (Berk. & Curt.) Smith A. H. were new to China, Strophoria albonitens (Fr.) Quélet (Sichuan), Naematolorna capnoides (Fr.) P. Karsten (Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Jiangxi, Tibet), Naematoloma sublateritium (Ft.) P. Karsten (Inner Mongolia, Sichuan) were new records from some province, Stropharia rugosoannulata f. lutea Hongo (Jilin), Stropharia aeruginosa (Fr.) Quélet f. brunneola Hongo(Yunnan, Tibet) were new forma from province.The purple brown-spored, with typical Chrysocystidium fungi [Stropharia (Fr.) Quélet & Naematoloma P. Karsten] from China were conducted the morphological taxonomy studied, descriptions, illustrations and line drawings of all species were provided in detail, the key of species and sections of Stropharia and Naematoloma was compiled, also included the synonyms. Also supplemented distribution region, discussed the fference of adjacent and similar species, lists of suspicious species and hardly distinguishable species were given, spores of all the taxa were studied with Scanning-electron Microscope.
