Sebacina aureomagnifica, a new heterobasidiomycete from the Atlantic Forest of northeast Brazil

Sebacina aureomagnifica is described as a new species based on collections from the Atlantic Forest of Paraiba and Rio Grande do Norte, in northeastern Brazil, and is molecularly attributed to the genus Sebacina based on its ribosomal DNA sequence. A striking feature of this newly described fungus is the production of erect, gelatinous yellow basidiomes growing epigeously.
