is distributed in tropical and subtropical areas as a member of s. lat., and the economic values of led to high attention in the taxonomic studies. Previously, 16 species have been developed into . In this study, the taxonomic system of was reconducted based on morphological and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses, especially making a distinction for complex. Morphological analysis was based on the notes of macro- and micro morphological observations. Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses were used maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) analyses inferred from combined dataset of ITS, nLSU, , mtSSU, and nSSU. Combined with morphological characters and phylogenetic evidence, the results demonstrated that complex consists of five taxa, in which was described as a new species, and it is characterized by the orbicular pilei with white to buff margin when fresh and clavate apical cells of pileipellis with septa. In addition, was transferred to as a new combination due to its blood-red color-changed pore surface; it is characterized by the funnel-shaped, greyish brown, and glabrous pilei with strongly incurved margin. Detailed descriptions and photographs of the two species were provided. With the extension of this study, 18 species were accepted in , and 12 species among them were distributed in China. A key to accepted species of was also provided.

The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, known for its high altitude, geological history of plate collision, crustal uplift, and special ecology factors, provides an ideal environment for studying fungal biodiversity in extreme environmental conditions. Some species within the , containing secondary metabolites such as psilocybin, phallotoxins, and amatoxins, have potential medicinal value for treating psychiatric disorders and for use in drug development. This study investigates (Bolbitiaceae, Agaricales) on the Plateau, based on specimens collected over the past decade, using morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses.

During our investigations of saprobic fungi, five fungal collections from terrestrial habitats in China and Thailand were examined using both morphological and multi-gene phylogenetic approaches (LSU, ITS, 1-α, and 2), resulting in the identification of three novel species: , , and . and are morphologically similar in their asexual morphs but can be distinguished based on their molecular phylogenetic data. In this study, our new species, , represents the fourth sexual species within the genus, characterized by yellow-brown ascomata and fusiform ascospores.

The species complex (FLSC) currently comprises 11 phylogenetic species, including accepted names such as , , and , which have mostly been reported in association with citrus and coffee. Many varieties were documented by Wollenweber & Reinking (1935), which is indicative of a wider diversity of species within this group. The lack of type material in some cases, especially for the older names, means that definition by molecular phylogeny is very difficult.
