| Summary: | <i>Hydnum</i> is a well-characterized genus in the family Hydnaceae of Cantharellales and is characterized by spinose hymenophores. In this study, an ITS phylogenetic overview and a multilocus (ITS-nrLSU-<i>tef</i>1) phylogenetic tree of <i>Hydnum</i> were carried out. On the basis of morphological characteristics and phylogenetic results, seven species from China were confirmed, described, illustrated, and compared with similar species, including three new species, i.e., <i>H. longipes</i>, <i>H. microcarpum</i>, and <i>H. sinorepandum</i>, and four known species, i.e., <i>H. cremeoalbum</i>, <i>H. melitosarxm</i>, <i>H. orientalbidum</i>, and <i>H. pinicola</i> were recorded for the first time in China. A key to the species of <i>Hydnum</i> in China was provided.
