Records of lignicolous agaricoid fungi (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) from Mexico

Abstract

The diversity of lignicolous agaric fungi is poorly known in Mexico. This group of fungi is responsible for the primary decomposition of wood, providing mineral elements that allow the nutrient cycles. The objective of this work was to reveal and confirm some lignicolous species present in Mexico with both morphological and molecular data. Thirteen species of eight genera, belonging to six families of lignicolous agaricoid fungi of the Agaricales were recorded, discussed, and illustrated, of which 11 are new records for Mexico. Considering our results, we confirm that Mexico is a Nearctic and Neotropical convergence zone of fungal taxa from both regions.

New Species of Bioluminescent Mycena Sect. Calodontes (Agaricales, Mycenaceae) from Mexico

“…P. Karst. and nine species belonging to the genus Mycena [ 27 , 28 , 29 ] ( Table 1 ). On the other hand, only two species from M. sect.…”

Anthracophyllum sontraense (Omphalotaceae, Agaricales), a new species from Danang, Vietnam

“…So far, most of the species in the genus Anthracophyllum have been recorded and classi ed by solely morphological methods. Up to now, only A. lateritium 12,13 and A. archeri 14 have been identi ed by both morphological and molecular methods. In addition, A. sinense, a very new species of Anthracophyllum accepted in January 2024, has also been recorded in China by those methods 11 .…”
