Four new species of <i>Entoloma</i> subgen. <i>Cubospora</i> (Entolomataceae, Agaricales) from Yunnan Province, China.

ABSTRACT: Species of Entoloma are exceptionally diverse and widely distributed, with cuboid-spored members occurring mainly in subtropical to tropical regions. These cuboid-spored taxa are primarily classified into two subgenera, E. subg. Cuboeccilia and E. subg. Cubospora. During surveys conducted in Yunnan Province, a representative subtropical region of China, four new species belonging to E. subg. Cubospora were identified through multigene phylogenetic analyses (ITS, LSU, rpb2, and tef1) combined with detailed morphological observations. Entoloma acutiflavum is distinguished by its yellow basidiomata, papillate pileus, heterogeneous lamellar edge, and the presence of clamp connections. Entoloma bichromum can be recognized by a centrally papillate pileus, serra
