Amanita tullossiana, a new species, and two new records of Amanita section Lepidella from north-western Himalaya, India

Abstract

Amanitatullossiana, a new species of Amanita [subgenus Lepidella] section Lepidella from India is described. The species is characterised by its ash grey to brownish-grey pileus covered with dark grey to greyish-black universal veil remnants, the upper part of its rooting stipe base covered by several rows of recurved scales, broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid basidiospores, absence of basidial clamp connections and pileal remnants of universal veil comprising abundant, disordered inflated cells intermixed with scattered filamentous hyphae. Molecular phylogenetic analysis and morphology both support the association of A.tullossiana with species of Bas’ stirps Cinereoconia – A.cinereoconia and A.griseoverrucosa. Two species, A.griseoverrucosa and A.virgineoides are reported here as new records for India.

“…Amanita is a large genus in the family Amanitaceae, which has 1007 listed species in amanitaceae.org (Tulloss & Yang 2018) and about 62 species are reported from India (Tibpromma et al 2017, Bhatt et al 2017, Das et al 2017, Hosen et al 2018, Mehmood et al 2018. The genus was introduced by Persoon (1797).…”

Amanita parvirufobrunnescens (Agaricales: Amanitaceae), a new species in A. sect. Amidella from India

“…( Amanitaceae ) have recently earned considerable attention, with new records and novel species being described from India (Bhatt et al 2003, Semwal et al 2005, 2020, Das et al 2017, Tibpromma et al 2017, Hosen et al 2018, Mehmood et al 2018a, b2018b, c2018c, 2019, Phookamsak et al 2019). To date, the genus Amanita is comprised of 613 validly published species from all over the world (Tulloss and Yang 2021) and about 66 species have been reported from India (Das et al 2017, Hosen et al 2018, Mehmood et al 2018a, b2018b, c2018c, d2018d, Kumar et al 2021). The genus is characterized by agaricoid or secotoid basidiomata, presence of longitudinally acrophysalides on stipe tissue, amyloid or inamyloid basidiospores, schizohymenial development and the bilateral lamella trama (Bas 1969, Tulloss et al 2016, Tibpromma et al 2017).…”
