Overview

New species of Cortinarius are discovered in Yunnan, enhancing understanding of fungal diversity and evolution.

Key Points

  • This study aims to identify new species of Cortinarius fungi from northwestern Yunnan, China, highlighting their morphological and phylogenetic characteristics.
  • Identified new species through morphological investigations and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses.
  • Examined ecological associations of Cortinarius species with local plant species such as Abies and Quercus.
  • Conducted fieldwork in subalpine and alpine forests of Yunnan.
  • Three new species were identified: Cortinarius acuticonus, C. tricholomopsoides, and C. wudihuensis.
  • C. acuticonus is characterized by an acutely conical pileus and dense black scales.
  • C. tricholomopsoides associates with Abies, while C. wudihuensis features small basidiomata and larger basidiospores.
