Contributions to the () Group in China: Taxonomy, Species Diversity, and Molecular Phylogeny.

is the largest genus in the family , with approximately 1000 species worldwide. Basic data on the species diversity, geographic distribution, and the infrageneric framework of are still incomplete because of the intricate nature of this genus, which includes numerous unrecognized taxa that exist around the world. A multigene phylogeny of the group, initially designated as the " subgroup", was conducted using the ITS-28S- nucleotide datasets.

Phylogenetic analysis, morphological studies, element profiling, and muscarine detection reveal a new toxic (Inocybaceae, Agaricales) species from tropical China.

Tropical Asian collections of are usually poisonous mushrooms that have caused many poisoning incidents. However, the species diversity and the toxic mechanisms of these species are still unclear. In this study, we describe the discovery of sp.

A new species of Inosperma, and first record of I. afromelliolens (Inocybaceae, Fungi) from West Africa.

Here, we present the newly identified Inosperma macrocarpa and the first record of I. afromelliolens from West Africa. Inosperma macrocarpa is nested in an Old World Tropical clade, based on a molecular phylogeny inferred from the sequences of ITS, LSU, RPB2, and TEF1.

 (Inocybaceae), a new poisonous species from Eurasia, based on morphological, ecological, molecular and biochemical evidence.

In this study, is proposed as a new species, based on morphological, ecological, molecular and biochemical evidence. The new species grows on sandy ground under and in north-western China and northern Europe, respectively. It is characterised by the combination of the robust habit, nearly glabrous pileus, large cylindrical basidiospores, thin-walled cheilocystidia and ecological associations with × and and unique phylogenetic placement.

 gen. et sp. nov. (Agaricales, Psathyrellaceae) from tropical China produces unique ridge-ornamented spores with an obvious suprahilar plage.

, a new psathyrelloid genus from tropical red soil of China, is established with as the type species. The new genus is characterised by basidiomata psathyrelloid, pileus rugose to appearing reticulate ridged, covered by persistent, but inconspicuous villus, pleurocystidia absent and ridge-ornamented spores with an obvious suprahilar plage. The genus is unique amongst Psathyrellaceae in producing ridge-ornamented spores with an obvious suprahilar plage and forms a distinct lineage within Psathyrellaceae, based on the Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses of a combined three-gene sequence dataset (ITS, LSU and β-).

Five new species of from China: Morphological characteristics, phylogenetic analyses, and toxin detection.

Many species of cause neurotoxic poisoning in humans after consumption around the world. However, the toxic species of and its toxin content remain unclear. In the present study, we proposed five new species from China, namely, , , , and .

Toxin screening of Pseudosperma umbrinellum (Agaricals, Basidiomycota): First report of phalloidin in Inocybaceae mushroom.

Pseudosperma species are widely distributed worldwide. Many of them cause poisoning incidents every year, and the toxin responsible for poisoning is muscarine, which could stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. This study established a method using multiwalled carbon nanotube purification and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the targeted screening of mushroom toxins (muscarine, isoxazole derivatives, tryptamine alkaloids, three amatoxins and three phallotoxins) from Pseudosperma umbrinellum, a common poisonous mushroom distributed in north and northwestern China.

A New Muscarine-Containing (Inocybaceae, Agaricales) Species Discovered From One Poisoning Incident Occurring in Tropical China.

Currently, mushroom poisoning still poses a huge problem to humans' health and life globally. Poisoning incidents caused by spp. were reported continuously in tropical China in recent years.

Identification of : A Rapid and Visual Method Based on Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification.

With mushroom poisoning emerging as one of the most serious food safety problems worldwide, a rapid identification method of poisonous mushrooms is urgently required to investigate the source of poisoning. , a kind of poisonous mushroom, contains gyromitrin toxin, which causes epileptogenic neurotoxicity and hemolytic disease. This study aimed to establish a rapid and visual method of identification based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP).

Two new (Inocybaceae) species with unexpected muscarine contents from tropical China.

An accurate identification of poisonous mushrooms and the confirmation of the toxins involved are both of great importance in the treatment of mushroom poisoning incidents. In recent years, cases of mushroom poisoning by spp. have been repeatedly reported from tropical Asia.

Effect of Shading and Forest Type on Morphological Characteristics and Bioactive Compounds of Fruiting Bodies of Songshan Lingzhi Ganoderma tsugae (Agaricomycetes).

Ganoderma tsugae strain MCCCMAS0053 cultivation on short logs results in varied yield and quality under different growth conditions. Thus, growth conditions need optimization to increase yield and quality. An indoor experiment with three shade treatments (A1, two layers of black sun-shade net; A2, one layer of black sun-shade net plus plastic mulch; A3, one layer of black sun-shade net) and a field experiment in two forest types (pine or mixed pine-oak) were conducted.
