Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the nuclear ribosomal large subunit (LSU) and partial gene coding RNA polymerase subunit II (rpb2) indicated that Sparassis fanjingshanensis belonged to the genus Sparassis and it formed a novel monophyletic clade next to Sparassis subalpina. Sparassis fanjingshanensis can be distinctly distinguished by its large basidiomata and light-gray to light-khaki flabellae that is compactly arranged, entire, broadly spathulate, slightly contorted, surface glabrous, top margin undulate, smooth, stem with concentric ring ornamentation (similar to the annual rings of a tree). In total, up to now, four taxa have been found in East Asia: Sparassis cystidiosa f. labelliformis, Sparassis fanjingshanensis, Sparassis labelliformis and Sparassis subalpine.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":20114,"journal":{"name":"Phytotaxa","volume":"33 47","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139442647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new species occurs on calcareous soils in Mediterranean habitats preferably under Quercus ilex subsp. ilex and Q. ilex subsp. rotundifolia. Pseudosperma conviviale resembles P. calciphilum in some macro- and microscopic features, but the latter is distinguished by having white velar remnants on pileus, larger spores and by its ecology, as it apparently grows exclusively on calcareous soils. The phylogenetic analyses based on nrITS and nrLSU nucleotide sequence data confirmed that the new species is a member of the former Inocybe section Rimosae sensu stricto, whose species are currently placed in the genus Pseudosperma.
