Abstract

The morphology and phylogenetic relationships of species of Hourangia (Boletaceae, Boletales) from China were investigated. Five phylogenetic species are recognized in the country; two of them, H. densisquamata and H. dilatata, are described as new; two of them, H. cheoi and H. nigropunctata, are previously described taxa, and the remaining one is not described due to the paucity of material. Besides specimens of Hourangia, collections of Aureoboletus were also made during field trips in China. The morphological and molecular data indicated that some collections labeled as A. cf. venustus or identified as A. venustus in previous studies represented a new species, therefore the new species A. erythraeus is described, and A. venustus is redescribed. A key to all known taxa of Hourangia is also provided.

Austroboletus brunneisquamus (Boletaceae, Boletales), a New Ectomycorrhizal Fungus from a Tropical Rainforest, China

“…Baker) Wolfe and A. subvirens (Hongo) Wolfe were reported in previous studies [1,[12][13][14][15]. Hainan, a tropical area covered mostly by rainforests, is considered as a hotspot of biodiversity, and many new taxa of macrofungi were described from the region in the past [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. With further investigations, more new taxa are expected to be uncovered.…”

Four New Species and a New Combination of Boletaceae (Boletales) from Subtropical and Tropical China

“…Especially in China, research on boletes has reached a climax, with the relationships between subfamilies and genera determined. Several new genera and more than 200 new species have been published [4,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

Phylogenetic and Morphological Evidence Reveal Five New Species of Boletes from Southern China

“…With the rapid development of molecular technology, molecular methods have been continuously applied to the taxonomy, systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of macrofungi, and the classification of boletes has made unprecedented progress. Since 2016, more than 100 new species from China have been described [ 1 , 2 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ], but few of them have been reported in Jiangxi Province [ 2 , 36 , 38 , 44 , 46 , 47 ].…”
