The discovery of two new mushroom species belonging to the genus Lepiota (family Lepiotaceae, phylum Basidiomycota) in Cat Ba National Park marks a significant milestone, reaffirming that the biodiversity treasure trove of the ‘Pearl Island’ still holds magical secrets waiting to be uncovered. This research achievement not only enriches the professional documentation for the biosphere and forestry sectors but also directly elevates the scientific value of the Ha Long Bay – Cat Ba Archipelago World Natural Heritage site. New data on these species will serve as a solid foundation for the unit to innovate its communication and environmental education programs, while asserting the National Park’s standing in the conservation and sustainable development of natural ecosystems to the international community.
