Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses revealed four new species (Basidiomycota) in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, China.

ABSTRACT: Four new fungi, viz. Clavulinopsiswumengshanensis (Clavariaceae, Agaricales), Henningsomycesbambusae (Porotheleaceae, Agaricales), Xenasmabisterigmatae, and X.guttulata (Xenasmataceae, Russulales), from Yunnan Province in China, are proposed, based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using a combined dataset of internal transcribed space and nuclear ribosomal RNA large subunit sequences. The ITS+LSU analysis showed that Clavulinopsiswumengshanensis sp. nov. groups with C.aurantiocinnabarina, Henningsomycesbambusae sp. nov. forms a sister group with H.candidus, Xenasmabisterigmatae sp. nov. is clustered with X.rimicola, and X.guttu
