Abstract
During an ongoing survey of indigenous fungi in Pakistan, we found Calocybe erminea and Macrocybe indica comb. nov. have been identified at the species level using light, scanning electron microscopy, and molecular phylogenetic analysis based on rDNA-internal transcribed spacer sequences. This study marks the first report of the genus Calocybe in Pakistan. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis has led to the reidentification of Calocybe indica as Macrocybe indica, providing new insights into the taxonomy and distribution of these fungal species in the region.
期刊介绍:
Microscopy Research and Technique (MRT) publishes articles on all aspects of advanced microscopy original architecture and methodologies with applications in the biological, clinical, chemical, and materials sciences. Original basic and applied research as well as technical papers dealing with the various subsets of microscopy are encouraged. MRT is the right form for those developing new microscopy methods or using the microscope to answer key questions in basic and applied research.
