A contribution to the knowledge of the genus Infundibulicybe (Tricholomatineae, Agaricales) in China: Two new species and five redescribed taxa

ABSTRACT

In China, species of the genus Infundibulicybe are often confused with other taxa and misdetermined. Here we describe two newly discovered species, I. bispora and I. ellipsospora, and redescribe five known taxa of this genus present in China. These identifications are supported by both morphological and DNA-based phylogenetic evidence. Additionally, a key to all known species of Infundibulicybe is provided.

KEYWORDS:
