The new species Gamundia nivea is described from an Abies alba wood in France. The main features of the new species are: small size, white colour of the whole basidioma, broadly ellipsoid to ellipso‐ovoid, echinulate basidiospores and very wide cystidia. A full macro‐ and micro‐morphological description, a photograph of fresh basidiomata and line‐drawings of relevant micro‐morphological features are presented, together with a taxonomical discussion on the differences between the new species and its closest allies.
