AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines the taxonomy and morphology of Holarctic species within the /romellii clade using both morphological and molecular data, confirming several species classifications.
- The species is recognized as exclusively Eurasian, with others identified as synonyms, while another is designated a separate North American species.
- Five new species are introduced, with identification criteria based on characteristics like basidioma size and geographical distribution, highlighting the importance of molecular data for accurate classification.
Article Abstract
We studied the taxonomy of , and morphologically similar Holarctic species in the /romellii clade of section , using morphological and molecular data (nrITS, ). is lectotypified and epitypified and accepted as an exclusively Eurasian species. and are considered synonyms of . is accepted as a related, but separate, North American species. Five species in the /romellii clade are described as new to science: two from North America ( and ), one from Asia (), one from Europe (), and one widely distributed across the Holarctic region (). Basidioma size, pileus color, lamellae color, basidiospore size, hymenial cystidia shape and size, habitat and geographical distribution help separate the species described here, but in some instances only molecular data allows for confident identification. The current status of , , var. , , and is discussed.
