Catalogue of fungi in China 3. New taxa of macrofungi from southern Xizang, China

Abstract

This is the third paper in the series <i>Catalogue of fungi in China</i> that aims to systematically and promptly publish Chinese fungal species. In this paper of the series, we focus on macrofungi from the southern border area of Xizang, a previously less concerned region. A total of 15 new species in six orders, 11 families, and 12 genera from <i>Agaricomycetes</i>, <i>Basidiomycota</i> are described. Both morphological and phylogenetic analyses support the identity of these new species and their taxonomic placements. In addition, one new combination <i>Trechispora cryptomerioides</i> is proposed. We hope that the third paper in the series <i>Catalogue of fungi in China</i> will draw more attention to reporting Chinese fungal diversity in the border areas of Xizang and other special geographic regions besides the aim of this series itself.
