Two striking Inocybe species from Yunnan Province, China

Abstract

Two striking species, Inocybe caroticolor sp. nov. and I. olivaceonigra, are documented in this paper. Inocybe caroticolor is characterized by its carrot-colored basidiomata, entirely pruinose stipe, aromatic odor, and nodulose basidiospores. Inocybe olivaceonigra , originally described from Papua New Guinea, is new to China. Illustrated descriptions of the two species are provided based on the Chinese collections. DNA sequences of internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) of the Chinese materials were generated, analyzed, and submitted to the GenBank.
