A new species of Pholiota subgenus Flammuloides section Lubricae (Strophariaceae, Agaricales) from Tibet, China

A new species from Tibet, Pholiota linzhiensis, is proposed. Pholiota linzhiensis is recognized by its pileus covered with radially appressed fibrillose squamules, stipe with subfloccose to recurved scales; yellow and thick-walled pleurocystidia, as well as oblong basidiospores. The species is described and illustrated, and a phylogenetic analysis of internal transcribed spacer nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS) is presented. Both the morphology and the phylogenetic analysis showed that P. linzhiensis belongs to Pholiota subgenus Flammuloides section Lubricae.
