The taxonomy of Basidiodendron caesiocinereum complex has been revised using morphological and molecular methods, identifying basidiospore ornamentation as a key character for species recognition. Eight new species related to B. caesiocinereum have been described, while the identities of some previously named species have been redefined. This study also discusses the identity of B. spinosum from Oceania.
Taxonomy of Basidiodendron caesiocinereum complex is revised based on morphological and molecular methods (with the use of nc LSU rDNA, ITS and TEF1 regions). The basidiospore ornamentation is justified as a key morphological character for the species recognition in the group. As redefined here, B. caesiocinereum is an angiosperm-dwelling species with smooth basidiospores. Bourdotia cinerella and B. cinerella var. trachyspora are proved to represent separate species with warted basidiospores; they are reintroduced as Basidiodendron cinerellum and B. trachysporum. Additionally, eight new species related to B. caesiocinereum are described based on material from Eurasia, North America and Africa, and identity of B. spinosum from Oceania is discussed.
