Three newly discovered species, namely , , and , are introduced and illustrated based on both morphological and molecular data from Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in China. A multigene phylogenetic analysis (nrITS, nrLSU, and ) was performed mainly to verify the placement of the new species in . A second, nrITS-only phylogenetic analysis comprising more species for which only ITS sequences were available, was used to infer the relationship between the new species and as many known species as possible.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFTuber indicum, an endemic truffle species in eastern Asian, is an edible mushroom that is both an important export and widely distributed across China. Many existing studies on truffles focus on analyzing their taxonomy, population genetics, volatile organic compounds and artificial cultivation of the truffles, while little information is available about their nutrient composition and pharmacological activity, especially the relationship between chemical composition in ascocarps and their geographic distributions. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the chemical composition of T.
