Hygrophoropsis macrospora is a species of fungus in the family Hygrophoropsidaceae. It is found in Europe and North America.
Formally described by Derek Reid in 1972 as a variety of Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca,[1] it was raised to distinct species status by Thomas Kuyper in 1996. Hygrophoropsis pallida (Peck) Kreisel is a synonym that was never formally published. It is based on Charles Horton Peck's taxon Cantharellus aurantiatus var. pallidus, which he published in 1896.[2]
