New <i>Crepidotus</i> (Agaricales, Crepidotaceae) findings in China: <i>Crepidotuscinereofuscus</i> sp. nov. and record of <i>C.stenocystis</i>.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Crepidotus is an essential group of saprotrophic fungi within ecosystems and exhibits a widespread global distribution. In China, approximately 80 species have been discovered, most of them being collected from humid monsoonal climate zones of China.

New information

In this paper, we report on several specimens of Crepidotus collected from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, an arid area of China characterised by a continental climate. Morphological and phylogenetic analyses revealed two taxa: the first record for China of Crepidotusstenocystis Pouzar and a new species Crepidotuscinereofuscus sp. nov. C.stenocystis is a wood-inhabiting saprotrophic fungus, belonging to C.subg.Dochmiopussect.Sphaeruli Hesler & Smith because of t
