Two unusual species of Craterellus have been collected numerous times from the evergreen tropical forests in Kerala State, India. The species Craterellus albostrigosus and Craterellus inusitatus are described as new based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses of nrLSU-rDNA gene region. Complete morphological descriptions, photographs and comparisons with similar species are provided as well as a key to the known species of Craterellus from India.

Resupinatus odoratus sp.nov. is described from Kerala State and is characterized by a merulioid to poroid hymenophore, inamyloid basidiospores, clavate to coralloid cheilocystidia, gelatinised tissues, coralloid pileipellis elements in the ixocutis, a fragrant spicy odor, and a distinct nrITS sequence. A comprehensive description, photographs, and comparison with similar species are provided.

Hohenbuehelia odorata sp.nov. is described based on morphological and molecular data of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) region from Kerala State, India. The macro- and micromorphological features in conjunction with nrITS-based phylogenetic analysis performed using Maximum Likelihood (ML) method supported the novelty of H. odorata. Complete morphological descriptions, photographs and comparisons with similar species and a key to the Indian species of Hohenbuehelia are provided.
