Tuber guzmanii, a New Truffle from Southern Mexico

摘要

An undescribed Tuber species was collected in Morelos between Mexico City and Cuernavaca in a subtropical Pinus-Quercus forest. This new species Tuber guzmanii Trappe and Cazares is named in honor of Prof. Gaston Guzman for his outstanding contributions to knowledge of Mexican fungi, his pioneering interest in hypogeous fungi, and his monographic work on the genera Psilocybe and Scleroderma. T. guzmanii is only the fifth Tuber species to be reported from Mexico.
