Clitopilus lampangensis (Agaricales, Entolomataceae), a new species from northern Thailand

Abstract

A new species of agaricomycetes, Clitopilus lampangensis, is described based on collections from northern Thailand. This species was distinguished from previously described Clitopilus species by its pale yellow to grayish yellow pileus with the presence of wider caulocystidia. Molecular phylogenetic analyses, based on the data of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and the large subunit (LSU) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA, and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (rbp2) genes, also support the finding that C. lampangensis is distinct from other species within the genus Clitopilus. A full description, color photographs, illustrations and a phylogenetic tree showing the position of C. lampangensis are provided.

Clitopilus cretoalbus sp. nov. (Entolomataceae, Agaricales), a new species from Pakistan

“…Singer (EF413030) reported from Spain is also closely related to the new species separated by strong bootstrap support (BS = 75%). The newly generated sequences of the Pakistani species clustered with other species from section Scyphodies (Morgado et al 2016;Wang et al 2017;Raj & Manimohan 2018;Kumla et al 2019;Baroni et al 2020aBaroni et al , 2020bFatima et al 2022;Rehman et al 2022).…”

“…The basidiomycete Clitopilus passeckerianus is a saprotrophic fungus belonging to the family of Entolomataceae within the fungal order Agaricales, also known as gilled mushrooms. Clitopilus species are especially endemic in northern temperate areas [ 1 ]. C. passeckerianus has been named after its discoverer Friedrich Passecker, an Austrian agronomist, who encountered it as a contamination in agricultural mushroom farms [ 2 ].…”
