Inocybe shawarensis sp nov in the Inosperma clade from Pakistan

摘要

A new species, Inocybe shawarensis, was collected during field research on ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with oak forests in Swat district, Pakistan. This species, supported by a combination of morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses, is characterized by a brown, fibrillose campanulate pileus, grayish lamellae, slightly bulbous stipe base, slightly pruinose silvery white stipe, small phaseoliform spores, and clavate cheilocystidia. We present phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequences from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and large subunit (LSU) of the nuclear ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Phylogenies from both DNA regions cluster I. shawarensis within the Maculata subclade in the Inosperma clade.
