Four Novel Species and Two New Records of Boletes from India
Repeated macrofungal explorations, followed by thorough examination of species through morphology and molecular phylogeny, have made it clear that European and American names of wild mushrooms were inadvertently misapplied quite often to Asian lookalikes by mycologists/taxonomists in the past.

| description | Repeated macrofungal explorations, followed by thorough examination of species through morphology and molecular phylogeny, have made it clear that European and American names of wild mushrooms were inadvertently misapplied quite often to Asian lookalikes by mycologists/taxonomists in the past. Therefore, in order to reveal this mushroom treasure, in recent years, taxonomical research on wild mushrooms has been intensified in Asian countries, including India, by undertaking a combined approach of morpho-taxonomy and multigene molecular phylogeny. Boletoid mushrooms (Boletaceae) are no exception. While working on boletoid mushrooms of the Indian Himalayas, authors recently came across six interesting species of boletoid mushrooms. In the present communication, four novel species, namely <i>Leccinellum binderi</i>, <i>Cyanoboletus paurianus</i>, <i>Xerocomus uttarakhandae,</i> and <i>Xerocomellus himalayanus</i>, are established based on morphology and molecular phylogenetic estimations. Moreover, <i>Cyanoboletus macroporus</i> and <i>Xerocomus fraternus</i> are also reported here for the first time in India. |
