Lepiota (Agaricales) in northern Thailand – 1. L. section Stenosporae

Abstract

Eleven species of Lepiota section Stenosporae, reported as new for Thailand, are fully described and illustrated. Five are compared with European and North American collections based on nrITS sequence data. Two species possess a cutis-like pileipellis (L. aureofulvella, L. sp. 2) and nine are characterized by a trichodermium (L. alopochroa, L. castanea, L. citrophylla, L. erythrosticta, L. griseovirens, L. infelix, L. papillata, L. poliochloodes , L. sp. 1). New to science are Lepiota aureofulvella (close to L. boudieri) and L. papillata, which is characterized by small basidiomata covered with gray-brown to olive brown squamules, an orange-white to brownishorange context, spurred basidiospores with straight or outgrown base, clavate to cylindrical cheilocystidia, and a trichodermal pileus covering. A key to Lepiota sect. Stenosporae in northern Thailand is provided.

Two new species and a new record of Lepiota (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) from the Dominican Republic

“…Phylogenetic analysis A total of 140 nrITS sequences were downloaded from GenBank, originally generated in the studies of Vellinga (2001bVellinga ( , c, 2003Vellinga ( , 2007Vellinga ( , 2010, Liang and Yang (2011a, b), Liang et al (2011), Sysouphanthong et al (2011, Birkebak et al (2011), Lebel and Vellinga (2013), Ge and Smith (2013), Kropp et al (2012), Razaq et al (2012, Vizzini et al (2014a, b), Nawaz et al (2013) and Caballero et al (2015). This set of sequences includes a wide representation of the different lineages of Lepiota sensu Vellinga (2001aVellinga ( , 2003 with the exception of section Echinatae.…”

“…Two collections from Thailand tentatively identified as L. fraterna also fall in the L. cristata complex ( Fig. 1b; Sysouphanthong et al 2011). There are no molecular data of Lepiota aurora available for comparison.…”

“…50-160 μm long, Lepiota sp. (HQ647297) 50-170 μm long (Sysouphanthong et al 2011). In all cases these pileus covering elements are still much longer than in L. subgranulosa.…”

Rare species of Lepiota and other genera

“…Distribution anD remarks: Rare but widespread species, known from Europe, Asia, North Africa and South America, growing terrestrial in deciduous woods on sandy, nutrient-rich soil (Wasser 1985;Vellinga 2001d;Legon et al 2005;de Albuquerque el al. 2010;Sysouphanthong et al 2011). Hitherto known from five localities in Poland (as L. griseovirens and L. pseudofelina;Wojewoda 2003;Bujakiewicz, Stefaniak 2009;Kujawa 2009).…”

A new species of Lepiota, Lepiota lahorensis, from Lahore, Pakistan

“…These white-gilled mushrooms are well studied in Europe, but reports from tropical and subtropical regions are few (Sysouphanthong et al, 2011). In Asia, Pegler (1972) presented a revision of Lepiota species from Sri Lanka; Manjula (1983) and Kumar & Manimohan (2009) carried out studies in India; in Pakistan Ahmad et al (1997) contributed to the exploration of lepiotaceous fungi.…”
