Molecular phylogenetic analysis of new Entoloma rhodopolium-related species in Japan and its identification method using PCR-RFLP.

ABSTRACT: Poisonous Entoloma rhodopolium and other similar species including edible E. sarcopum are morphologically diverse. People mistake poisonous species for edible species. Classification and the detection method of these species need to be defined. The morphological and phylogenetic studies have been reported in northern Europe. In Japan, the genetic study remains unsolved. Thus, phylogenetic analysis of E. rhodopolium was conducted using ITS and RPB2 sequences, and the result was compared with that of European species. Japanese E. rhodopolium was classified into three clades, none of which belonged to the true European E. rhodopolium and other known species. Three species were defined as new species. Entoloma rhodopolium clade-I (named E. lacus) was genetically close to but morphologically se
