Abstract
Cortinarius section Anomali is a species-rich group that occurs worldwide, particularly in Europe and North America. The overlapping morphological and microscopical characteristics of Anomali species pose significant challenges for species identification. Therefore, the focus of this study was to clarify the taxonomy and phylogeny of section Anomali in China. A total of 229 specimens of section Anomali were collected in China over the past two decades. The present study, based on a combination of extensive morphological investigations and molecular methods, reports 22 Anomali species. Eleven of them are recognized as new to science and formally described here as C. albocyaneoides, C. campanianomalus, C. microalbocyaneus, C. neocaninus, C. qilianensis, C. robustianomalus, C. rufolilacinus, C. subalbocyaneus, C. subanomalus, C. xizangensis, and C. vernalianomalus, respectively. Cortinarius albocyaneus, C. azureovelatus, C. caninus, C. kranabetteri, C. lepidopus, and C. perrotensis are reported in China for the first time. In addition, the occurrence of C. cinnamomeolilacinus, C. epsomiensis, C. subclackamasensis, C. tabularis, and C. tropicus in China is confirmed. Descriptions, accompanied by illustrations of morphological characters of the Chinese Anomali species, and comparisons with closely related taxa are provided. The present study reports Cortinarius section Anomali in China or Asia, clarifying taxonomy and conducting phylogeny analyses based on nrITS, nrLSU, rpb1 and rpb2 sequences. We compare the Anomali species from China with those in Europe and North America, enriching the species and sequences of sect. Anomali. In addition, the ornamentation of basidiospores was studied using scanning electron microscopy.

期刊介绍:
Persoonia aspires to publish papers focusing on the molecular systematics and evolution of fungi. Additionally, it seeks to advance fungal taxonomy by employing a polythetic approach to elucidate the genuine phylogeny and relationships within the kingdom Fungi. The journal is dedicated to disseminating high-quality papers that unravel both known and novel fungal taxa at the DNA level. Moreover, it endeavors to provide fresh insights into evolutionary processes and relationships. The scope of papers considered encompasses research articles, along with topical and book reviews.
