Entoloma shandongense T. Bau & J.R. Wang (Agaricales, Entolomataceae): a new distributional record from India

Abstract

This study reports Entoloma shandongense (first described from China) as a new record for the macrofungal mycota from India. A phylogenetic analysis based on ITS show that E. shandongense can be readily distinguished from other blue coloured morphologically similar species, such as E. atrum. A detailed taxonomic description with illustrations and an artificial key to blue-coloured Entoloma species from India and surrounding areas are provided.

Entoloma albotomentosum (Entolomataceae): First report from India based on morphological and molecular (ITS sequence) data

“…Amplification of nrITS region followed by Paloi et al (2015). Amplified PCR products were purified using QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (QIAGEN, Germany) and were subjected to automated DNA sequencing on an ABI3730xl DNA Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, USA) using primers identical with amplification for the ITS rDNA region.…”
