A Taxonomic Study of Candolleomyces Specimens from China Revealed Seven New Species

Based on phylogenetic analysis, (Psathyrellaceae, Agaricales) was established with as the type species. The basidiomes range from small to large and are typically terrestrial, lignicolous, and rarely fimicolous. We analysed the species collected during five years in China, and based on morphological and molecular data (nrITS, nrLSU, and ), we propose seven new species viz. , , , , , , and . Full descriptions, colour photographs, illustrations, phylogenetic analyses results, and comparisons with related species of the new taxa are provided. This study enriches the species diversity of in China.
