Four new species of Cortinariaceae (Agaricales) from Northwestern China.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cortinariaceae, which belongs to the Agaricales order, is a globally recognized family, known for its high species diversity.

Methods

Eight internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and nuclear large ribosomal subunit (LSU) sequences were newly generated, and phylogenetic analyses were performed by combining ITS and LSU datasets. Four species were identified as forming four independent lineages with robust support in phylogenies based on both datasets.

Results

These new species in the taxa, Cortinarius gansuensis, Cortinarius tricholomoidus, Cortinarius vinoso-griseum, and Phlegmacium subcalyptratum from Northwestern China are described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular evidence. Cortinarius gansuensis is char
