AI Article Synopsis
- A new species of truffle has been identified in central Mexico, characterized by unique morphological features like ascospore size and cystidia.
- The species is distinguished from related ones through its specific host and irregularity in pellis cell thickness.
- A phylogenetic analysis confirms its placement in the Maculatum clade, setting it apart from other similar small, white-cream truffles found in north-eastern Mexico.
Article Abstract
A new species of truffle, , is described from central Mexico. can be distinguished from other related species synoptically by a combination of morphological features including ascospore size, pellis cells with irregular thickness, cystidia, ascoma colour and associated host ( an endemic species from central Mexico); sequence variation on the ITS rDNA also distinguishes from related species. A phylogenetic analysis of the ITS rDNA demonstrates that belongs to the Maculatum clade and is unique from other similar small, white-cream coloured species distributed in north-eastern Mexico such as and .
