Two new Clitocella species from North China revealed by phylogenetic analyses and morphological characters.

ABSTRACT: Two new species of Clitocella are proposed based on morphological and phylogenetic investigations. Clitocellaborealichinensis sp. nov. is closely related to C.orientalis but distinguished from the latter by its slightly smaller basidiospores and hyphae of pileipellis with pale brown to brown intracellular or parietal pigment. Clitocellacolorata sp. nov. is closely related to C.popinalis and C.mundula in macromorphology but is differentiated from C.popinalis by its slightly smaller basidiospores and the difference in genetic profile, and from C.mundula by its relatively colorful pileus (white to yellowish white, grayish white to grayish brown, pink white). Phylogenetic analyses based on sequence data from five different l
