Three new species of Laccaria infundibuliformis, L. pallidus, and L. darjeelingensis, collected from Darjeeling, India, are described based on morphological and molecular evidence. Laccaria infundibuliformis is characterized by its small infundibuliform basidiocarps, and echinulate basidiospores with spines up to 1.36 µm long. Laccaria pallidus is characterized by medium-sized greyish-red basidiocarps, and echinulate basidiospores with spines up to 1.9 µm long. Laccaria darjeelingensis is characterized by dull red basidiocarps, and echinulate basidiospores with spines up to 1.27 µm long. Altogether, the study shows that these three Laccaria species are previously unknown to science.

Based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence, two novel species of Melampsora were discovered on Hypericum pseudohenryi in China and have been thoroughly characterized. One of these species, designated as M. danbaensis, exhibits distinct features such as aecia of Uredo-type, typically appearing in gregarious or grouped arrangements, and presenting a shallowly pulvinate structure.

The purpose of this work was to assess the morphology and ontogeny of Puccinia imperatae urediniospores and teliospores growing on its host, Imperata cylindrica, for the first time using scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy. The first evidence of uredinial development is the aggregation of hyphae in host intercellular spaces under the epidermis to form an uredinial initial. Uredinial primordia become evident as compact masses of fungal hyphae.

Species of (Hydnangiaceae, Agaricales, and Basidiomycota) are well-known ectomycorrhizal symbionts of a broad range of hosts. species are characterized by brown, orange, or purple colored basidiocarps, and globose or oblong, echinulate and multinucleate basidiospores. While some species are easily identified at the species level using only the morphological characteristics, others are hard to distinguish at the species level due to small differences in morphology.
