Craterellus atrobrunneolus sp. nov. from southwestern China
Keyword(s):
A new ectomycorrhizal fungus from southwestern China, Craterellus atrobrunneolus, is proposed as supported by morphological and phylogenetic analyses. The basidiocarps are characterized by a dark brown to brownish gray coloration, convex to plano-convex pileus with an umbilicate but not perforate center, smooth to slightly folded gray to cretaceous hymenophore, absence of clamp connections in all tissues, narrow basidia with 2–6 sterigmata, and broadly ellipsoid to subglobose basidiospores. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian sequence analyses of the ITS + nrLSU DNA regions confirm the phylogenetic position of the new species. Illustrations accompany the technical description and comparisons of C. atrobrunneolus and closely related species.
