A phylogenetic overview of theHydnaceae(Cantharellales,Basidiomycota) with new taxa from China

Diversity of Cantharellus (Cantharellales, Basidiomycota) in China with Description of Some New Species and New Records

“…Cantharellus is an ectomycorrhizal genus, forming symbiosis with various plants, such as the trees of Fagaceae, Pinaceae, Betulaceae, Salicaceae, Juglandaceae, Leguminosae, etc. [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Species in Cantharellus are widely distributed and are especially rich in subtropical to tropical zones [ 3 , 9 , 10 ].…”

“…Species in Cantharellus are widely distributed and are especially rich in subtropical to tropical zones [ 3 , 9 , 10 ]. Up to now, about 300 species of Cantharellus have been reported worldwide [ 7 ]. However, the species diversity is poorly known in Asia in the past decades, and many specimens were named after European or North American species [ 6 , 11 , 12 , 13 ].…”

“…However, the species diversity is poorly known in Asia in the past decades, and many specimens were named after European or North American species [ 6 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. In recent years, some new species were reported from Asia based on the combination of morphological characters and DNA phylogenetic analyses [ 6 , 7 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Recent phylogenetic studies demonstrated that Cantharellus is monophyletic and forms a sister relationship with Craterellus Pers.…”

“…Recent phylogenetic studies demonstrated that Cantharellus is monophyletic and forms a sister relationship with Craterellus Pers. [ 3 , 4 , 7 ]. Species in Cantharellus were divided into seven subgenera based on multi-locus phylogenetic analyses in Buyck et al [ 3 ], and a subsequent study in Cao et al [ 7 ].…”
