Fungal Biodiversity Profiles 101-110

In this new series of Fungal Biodiversity Profiles, the authors provide a description for a new species of Rachomyces Thaxt. (Ascomycota, Laboulbeniales) and several Basidiomycota: for the first time illustrated type studies for two older species of Cantharellus Adans. ex Fr. (Hydnaceae, Cantharellales), C. subcibarius Corner 1966 from Malaysia and C. pseudocibarius P.Henn. 1907 from Cameroon are provided, while in Agaricales, family Inocybaceae, three new Inosperma (Kuhner) Matheny & Esteve-Rav. are described from miombo woodland in Zambia (Africa): I. afromelliolens Eyssart. & Buyck, sp. nov., I. boeticum Eyssart. & Buyck, sp. nov. and I. submaculatum Eyssart. & Buyck, sp. nov. Still in Agaricales, family Entolomataceae, Rhodophana corylina Consiglio, Dima & Eyssart., sp. nov. is described and two new recombinations in the same genus are proposed together with an identification key for species of Rhodophana Kuhner and close allies in Europe. Finally, in Russulales, family Russulaceae, Russula xerampelinoides K. Das, I. Bera, A. Ghosh & Buyck, sp.nov. is described from Indian Himalaya. With exception of the two type studies, all new species in Basidiomycota are supported by newly provided sequence data or already published phylogenetic analyses of sequence data.

Automated summary

In this new series of Fungal Biodiversity Profiles, the authors describe a new species of Rachomyces Thaxt. and several Basidiomycota, as well as illustrated type studies for older species of Cantharellus Adans. ex Fr. and newly described species of Inosperma and Rhodophana. The study also provides sequence data and phylogenetic analyses to support the new species in Basidiomycota.
