Morganella is a genus of puffball fungi in the family Agaricaceae. The genus name honors American botanist Andrew Price Morgan (1836–1907).[3] The widely distributed genus is prevalent in tropical areas. A 2008 estimate placed nine species in Morganella,[4] but several new species have since been described.
