Abstracts |
New species of Amanita subgen. Lepidella are described from Guyana. Amanita cyanochlorinosma sp.
nov., Amanita fulvoalba sp. nov., and Amanita guyanensis sp. nov. represent the latest additions to the growing
body of newly described ectomycorrhizal fungi native to Dicymbe-dominated tropical rainforests. Macro- and
micromorphological characters, habitat, and DNA sequence data for the ITS, nrLSU, rpb2, and ef1-α are provided
for each taxon, and b-tubulin for most. Distinctive morphological features warrant the recognition of the three new species and a molecular phylogenetic analysis of taxa across Amanita subgen. Lepidella corroborates their infrageneric
placements. |
