Ediriweera AN, Voto P, Karunarathna SC, et al. (2023). A new species and a new record in the Agaricales from Sri Lanka. MycolObs 6:92−107 and full descriptions.

Mushrooming in the Nordio forest (North-East Italy) has led to the discovery of interesting and sometimes new to science species. In this page some of the most interesting findings are listed and linked which were documented with online published articles or vouchers. The research is still ongoing. This presentation format pdf file substitutes the...

Panaeolus sylvaticus is reported for the first time from Dominican Republic; this documentation represents its second ever published report and its first phylogenetic characterization. An ITS sequence and pictures of basidiomes and of main micro anatomical traits support its description together with notes of comparison with other taxa of subgen. P...

Entoloma phaeocarpoides, a dark omphalioid new species found in back dune sand along the coastline of the Padan Plain, also called the Po Valley, in Veneto, Italy, is described with colour picture in situ, images of its main micro characters and comments on most similar species.

Etymology: The name refers to the crested (from Greek ράχη) spores and to the family Psathyrellaceae wherein the genus belongs. Type: Rachipsathyra capitata Voto, S.M.L. Lee, Dibán &Maraia Diagnosis Habit psathyrelloid, basidiomata medium to large. Pileus glabrous, often radially rugulose when mature or on drying, without veil; stipe often striate-...

The authors noticed that P. cladii-marisci is an invalid name because it was inadvertently published without the citation of an identifier issued by a recognized repository (ICN art. F.5.1); the species is therefore republished and also redescribed with the updating of the morphological data from new collections. Some new unpublished pictures of ba...

The discovery of a new species of the genus Melanoleuca from the Bosco Nordio (Italy), a holm oak wood, is reported; it is phylogenetically isolated from the other members of subgen. Urticocystis where it belongs to owing to its urticoid cystidia. It is described with colour pictures, images of main micro characters, molecular data and comments on...

Specimens belonging to taxa traditionally assigned to the subsection Spadiceogriseae of the genus Psathyrella were analyzed both morphologically and molecularly. Samples included mainly European collections, selected GenBank accessions, and specimens of various North American taxa described by Smith (1972) and deposited at the Herbarium of the Univ...
