Gymnopilus penetrans and G. swaticus sp. nov. (Agaricomycota: Hymenogastraceae); a new record and a new species from northwest Pakistan

Abstract

Two Gymnopilus species are described and illustrated from northern parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. Gymnopilus swaticus is described as new to science based on morphological characters and data from nITS and nLSU. Gymnopilus penetrans is a new record for Pakistani mycobiota.

Five New Species of Gymnopilus from Xizang Autonomous Region of China and Surrounding Areas

“…The sequences produced from this study and some generated by a previous work and deposited in the NCBI GenBank database were used in our phylogenetic analyses [ 2 , 7 , 9 , 19 , 20 , 32 , 33 ] ( Table 1 ). Sequences of multigene data were aligned separately using Muscle version 3.6 [ 34 ], then manually adjusted to remove ambiguous regions in BioEdit version 7.0.4 [ 35 ].…”

“…Hesler (1969) and Singer (1986) accepted those two groups of Gymnopilus and put this genus under Cortinariaceae, while Kühner (1980) and Guzmán-Dávalos et al (2003) classified it under Strophariaceae. Kirk et al (2008) considered it to belong to Hymenogastraceae [ 1 , 2 ]. Later, Guzmán-Dávalos (1995) established a section, Macrospori Guzm.-Dáv (1995: 119) to Gymnopilus , which contains species characterized by large spores and a lack of an annulus [ 7 , 11 ].…”

“…Later, Guzmán-Dávalos (1995) established a section, Macrospori Guzm.-Dáv (1995: 119) to Gymnopilus , which contains species characterized by large spores and a lack of an annulus [ 7 , 11 ]. Recently, morphological examination combined with molecular phylogenetic analysis has been widely used to study this genus and describe new species from different parts of the world [ 2 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ].…”

“…The alignment obtained to explore the phylogenetic relationships of the new species of Gymnopilus was based on the taxonomic sampling employed by [52,53] (Table 2). The ITS region was aligned using the online version of MAFFT v. 7 [54][55][56].…”

First report of Gymnopilus ochraceus Høil. 1998 (Agaricomycetes: Agaricales: Hymenogastraceae) from India and determination of bioactive components

“…Members of the genus are characterized by yellow to brown, ferruginous or purple fruiting bodies, saprotrophic nature, cortinoid to membranous veil and a rusty brown spore print (Kaur et al 2015). The genus was confirmed by roughened basidiospores that range from verrucose to rugulose; capitate to sub-capitate, ventricose cheilocystidia and clamp connections present on almost all kinds of hyphae (Khan et al 2017). Shape and size of the spores and cystidia are considered important characters for distinction among the species (Rees et al 2004).…”
