[1][2] It was described in 2021 by the mycologists Alfredo Justo, Angelini Claudio and Alberto Bizzi who classified it as Leucocoprinus scissus.

Cap: 1–4 cm wide starting conical-campanulate before expanding to conical to flat with a slight umbo.

The surface is white with small, scattered brownish-ochre scales that surround the umbo and become sparser towards the cap margins.

The surface is smooth and whitish above the stem ring and ochre-yellow below with the colour becoming more intense towards the base, where white threadlike (filiform) rhizomorphs may be present.

[3] The species was discovered in the Dominican Republic where it was found growing gregariously on leaf litter in deciduous woodland in November.
