Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses revealed four new wood inhabiting fungi (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) in Xizang Autonomous Region, China

Four new fungi from Xizang in southwest China, Calocera ramaria , Ceraceomyces rhizomorphus , Leptosporomyces linzhiensis , and Ramaria xizangensis are described and illustrated based on the morphological and molecular evidence. Calocera ramaria is characterized by the ramal and bright orange basidiomata, a monomitic hyphal system with simple septa generative hyphae, usually 4-septate basidiospores; Ceraceomyces rhizomorphus is characterized by the cream to yellowish basidiomata with rhizomorphs, cylindrical basidiospores; Leptosporomyces linzhiensis is characterized by white with pink basidiomata, cylindrical to oblong ellipsoid basidiospores; Ramaria xizangensis is characterized by flesh pink basidiomata, branched dichotomously in 4–5 ranks, a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, ellipsoid to cylindrical and densely warted basidiospores.
