Morphology and Molecular Phylogeny Reveal Five New Species of <i>Laccaria</i> (Hydnangiaceae, Agaricales) from Southern China
The genus <i>Laccaria</i> is a type of cosmopolitan and ecologically important fungal group. Members can form ectomycorrhizal associations with numerous trees, and some species are common edible fungi in local markets. Although some new species from China are recently published, the spec...

| description | The genus <i>Laccaria</i> is a type of cosmopolitan and ecologically important fungal group. Members can form ectomycorrhizal associations with numerous trees, and some species are common edible fungi in local markets. Although some new species from China are recently published, the species diversity of <i>Laccaria</i> is still unclear in China. In this study, some samples of <i>Laccaria</i> were collected from southern China, and morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses based on the multilocus dataset of ITS-LSU-<i>tef</i>1-<i>rpb</i>2 confirmed five new species. <i>Laccaria miniata</i>, <i>L. nanlingensis</i> and <i>L. neovinaceoavellanea</i> were collected from subtropical broad-leaved forests, and <i>L. rufobrunnea</i> and <i>L. umbilicata</i> were collected from subtropical mixed forests of southwest China. Full descriptions, illustrations, comparisons with similar species and phylogenetic analysis are provided. |
