Phylogeny, taxonomy, and character evolution in subgenus .

is a well-known and long-established subgenus of the genus traditionally defined mainly by the mycenoid basidiocarps of the included species. Until now, revisions of this subgenus including molecular data exist only on a regional scale. In this study, the phylogeny of species of is analysed based on multi-gene DNA sequences including data of specimens from all continents.

subgenus in Europe: expanded Sanger and Next Generation Sequencing unveil unexpected diversity in the Mediterranean.

Molecular phylogenies in the past decade have demonstrated that the described diversity of is still underestimated, especially outside continental and boreal ecoregions where the genus has been historically investigated. We tackled this issue by revisiting the so far unresolved subgenus , and focused on the largely unexplored Mediterranean hotspot of biodiversity. The sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of 161 vouchered collections from Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, including 16 types, allowed for the delineation of 11 species in this lineage, three of them recognised as new to science and formally introduced as , and spp.
