Morphological and culture characteristics are supported by DNA barcodes.

Two species of theEntoloma quadratum–murrayicomplex from Japan,E. kermesinumsp. nov. andE. flavescenssp. nov.

“…4–6), but the difference is not large enough to use as a diagnostic feature. Moreover, this species is somewhat morphological similar to E. kovalenkoi , species reported from Viet Nam, but E. kovalenkoi is characterized by bright orange basidiocarps and pileus without distinct papilla [43]. This species seems to prefer nutrient poor soils, such as granite-based soil, and has never been reported outside Japan.…”

“…Notably, the molecular phylogenetic tree of the ITS dataset showed that the E. quadratum and E. murrayi clades comprised specimens collected near type localities (i.e., Eastern North America), suggesting that they represent the focal species. Moreover, E. kermesinum was phylogenetically distinct from E. kovalenkoi , which is somewhat morphologically similar to E. kermesinum [43] (Fig. 1B).…”

“…Basidiocarp color of E. kermesinum (crimson to deep red) is much deeper than those of E. quadratum (orange-yellow to orange salmon) [11] and E. kovalenkoi (bright orange) [43]. In addition, relatively large basidiospores and pileus with distinct papilla are diagnostic features distinguishing E. kermesinum from E. quadratum and E. kovalenkoi , respectively [11, 43]. Similarly, basidiospores of E. flavescens are larger than those of E. murrayi [11].…”

New Strain of Cyphellophora olivacea Exhibits Striking Tolerance to Sodium Bicarbonate

“…Other species, such as C. guyanensis, C. oxyspora, C. sessilis, C. jingdongensis and C. olivacea were isolated from plant materials or non-biological substrates [43,47,49,60]. The genus is continuously expanding with the introduction of new species and with the occasional transfer from other genera [59,61,62].…”

Pestalotioid Species Associated with Medicinal Plants in Southwest China and Thailand

“…The sequences were compared against the NCBI GenBank nucleotide database using BLASTn to evaluate the closest phylogenetic matches. All sequences used in this study were downloaded from GenBank referring to previous studies ( 16 , 23 , 27 , 30 , 44 , 65 , 67 , 76 – 79 ) ( Table 3 ). The single-gene sequences were checked with BioEdit v. 7.0.9.0 ( 80 ).…”
