Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal a new species and two new records of nematode-trapping fungi in Pakistan, enhancing knowledge of species diversity.
Hohenbuehelia Schulzer is a genus of nematode‐trapping, pleurotoid fungi that grow on a variety of substrates in forest ecosystems. Despite its high species diversity and complexity, it remains taxonomically underexplored and unrevised. In this study, morphological and phylogenetic analyses were conducted to confirm the identification of Hohenbuehelia specimens collected during a mycological survey in district Swat, Pakistan. As a result, Hohenbuehelia longicolla S. Hussain is described as a new species, while Hohenbuehelia tremula and Hohenbuehelia wilhelmii are reported as new records for the country. Hohenbuehelia longicolla is morphologically and phylogenetically well‐differentiated from other species of the genus. This study contributes to the understanding of the global diversity and distribution of Hohenbuehelia in Pakistan.
