Abstract

Two new Psilocybe species (Hymenogastraceae), P. ingeli and P. maluti, are described from southern Africa. Morphology and phylogeny were used to separate the two novel fungi from their closest relatives in the genus. Psilocybe ingeli was found fruiting on bovine manure-enriched grasslands in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province of South Africa and differs from its closest relative P. keralensis and others in the internal transcribed spacer ITS1-5.8S-ITS2, partial 28S nuc rDNA, and translation elongation factor 1-alpha regions, distribution, and having larger basidiospores. Similarly, P. maluti was collected from the Free State Province of South Africa and observed in the Kingdom of Lesotho, growing on bovine manure. A secotioid pileus, geographic distribution, and differences in the same DNA regions distinguish P. maluti from its closest relative P. chuxiongensis. Furthermore, the spore dispersal and traditional, spiritualistic use of P. maluti are discussed here.

描述来自南部非洲的两个新的 Psilocybe 品种，以及关于非洲传统致幻蘑菇使用的一些说明。

本文描述了来自非洲南部的两个 Psilocybe 新种（Hymenogastraceae）：P. ingeli 和 P. maluti。利用形态学和系统发生学将这两种新真菌与其属中的近亲区分开来。Psilocybe ingeli 在南非夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省富含牛粪的草地上被发现结果，在内部转录间隔区 ITS1-5.8S-ITS2、部分 28S nuc rDNA 和翻译延伸因子 1-α 区域、分布以及较大的基生孢子方面与近亲 P. keralensis 和其他真菌不同。同样，从南非自由州省采集到的 P. maluti 在莱索托王国也被观察到，它生长在牛粪上。Maluti 的栉状绒毛、地理分布以及相同 DNA 区域的差异将其与近亲 P. chuxiongensis 区分开来。此外，本文还讨论了 P. maluti 的孢子传播和传统灵用。

期刊介绍： International in coverage, Mycologia presents recent advances in mycology, emphasizing all aspects of the biology of Fungi and fungus-like organisms, including Lichens, Oomycetes and Slime Molds. The Journal emphasizes subjects including applied biology, biochemistry, cell biology, development, ecology, evolution, genetics, genomics, molecular biology, morphology, new techniques, animal or plant pathology, phylogenetics, physiology, aspects of secondary metabolism, systematics, and ultrastructure. In addition to research articles, reviews and short notes, Mycologia also includes invited papers based on presentations from the Annual Conference of the Mycological Society of America, such as Karling Lectures or Presidential Addresses.
