Two new species in subgenus from Southwest China.

Two new species in subgenus , and s, are proposed based on a combination of morphological and molecular evidence. has distinct olive tinged basidiomata, a squamulose pileus, and small, subglobose to broadly ellipsoid basidiospores, the ITS sequence differs from that of by at least 28 substitutions and independent positions. has a squamulose pileus and subglobose to broadly ellipsoid coarsely verrucose basidiospores, the ITS sequence has at least 11 substitutions and index position deviations from the other members of the section.

Four New Species of Subsection from China.

Four new species of subsection from northern and southwestern China under coniferous and deciduous trees are proposed as , , , and . Illustrations and descriptions of , , , and the above four new species are provided based on evidence of morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), as well as the multi-locus of mtSSU, nLSU, , and -α. The relationships between these new species and allied taxa are discussed.

Morphological and Phylogenetic Evidence Reveal Five New Telamonioid Species of () from East Asia.

Five new species, , , , and spp. nov., are proposed based on a combination of morphological and molecular evidence.

A phylogenetic overview of the (, ) with new taxa from China.

The family (, ) is a group of fungi found worldwide which exhibit stichic nuclear division. The group is highly diverse in morphology, ecology, and phylogeny, and includes some edible species which are popular all over the world. Traditionally, together with , and are four families in the The four families were combined and redefined as "", however, a comprehensive phylogeny based on multiple-marker dataset for the entire is still lacking and the delimitation is also unclear.

, a new edible member of -complex from southwestern China.

Members of -complex or olive waxcaps have both ecological and economic significance. European and North American species diversity of this fungal group has been presented in recent molecular phylogenetic studies, but no Chinese materials were included. In this study, a phylogenetic overview of the -complex based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences was made, and a local popular edible species from southwestern China was described as a new species .

Three new species of subgenus (Cortinariaceae, Agaricales) from China.

is an important ectomycorrhizal genus that forms a symbiotic relationship with certain trees, shrubs and herbs. Recently, we began studying in China and here we describe three new species of Cortinarius subg. Telamonia based on morphological and ecological characteristics, together with phylogenetic analyses.

subsection (Hygrophoraceae, Agaricales) in China.

Hygrophorus subsect. Hygrophorus has been relatively well-studied in Europe and North America, but studies on the taxa in Asia, particularly in China, are still limited. In this study, phylogenetic overviews of genus , based on the nuclear large subunit (LSU) ribosomal RNA gene and of subsect.

New Germplasms of the Culinary-Medicinal Button Mushroom, Agaricus bisporus (Agaricomycetes): Two Wild Strains from the Tibetan Plateau (China).

Agaricus bisporus is one of the most important commercially cultivated culinary-medicinal mushrooms worldwide. In China, most of the cultivated strains of the fungus were introduced from other countries and cultivated in the eastern provinces. In this study, 2 wild strains of A.

Termitomyces bulborhizus sp. nov. from China, with a key to allied species.

The new species, Termitomyces bulborhizus, is described from south-west China. The stipe of the basidiome is swollen into a prominent bulbous base at ground level, and this, together with the floccules on the stipe surface, distinguishes this species within the genus. T.
