Calocera bambusicola is presented as a new species, based on specimens collected from rotten culms of bamboo ( Pseudosasa usawai ) near a sulfur hot spring on Yangminshan mountain in Yangminshan National Park, Taipei, Taiwan. This new species morphologically resembles C. sinensis but differs in its much smaller basidiocarps, narrower basidiospores, much narrower contextual hyphae, and growth on bamboo culms. ITS differences also separate these two species. A key to species of Calocera with nodose-septate hyphae is provided, and C. sinensis is newly reported from Taiwan.
