Inocybe kohistanensis, a new species from Swat, Pakistan

Abstract

Inocybe kohistanensis, a new species, is described from Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, on the basis of morphological characters as well as molecular phylogenetic analyses. The new species is characterized by a fibrillose reddish brown pileus, pruinose stipe with a prominent marginate bulb, and nodular spores. Sequences from the internal transcribed spacer region suggest that I. kohistanensis is distinct from all other Inocybe species sampled.

New species of Pseudosperma (Agaricales, Inocybaceae) from Pakistan revealed by morphology and multi-locus phylogenetic reconstruction

“…Razaq et al 2012, Nawaz et al 2013, Thongklang et al 2014, Qasim et al 2015a, 2015b, Sarwar et al 2015, Hussain et al 2016, Jabeen et al 2016, Farooqi et al 2017, Naseer et al 2018, Ullah et al 2018, Saba et al 2019a, 2019b, Kiran et al 2020. Thirty-five species of Inocybe sensu lato are reported from Pakistan (Ahmad et al 1997, Ilyas et al 2013, Jabeen et al 2016, Farooqi et al 2017, Razaq and Shahzad 2017, Naseer et al 2018, Ullah et al 2018, Song et al 2019. The genus Pseudosperma is poorly known in Pakistan, with only three species that were known before this study: P. himalayense, P. rimosum and P. pakistanense (Ahmad et al 1997, Liu et al 2018, Ullah et al 2018.…”

A new species of smooth‐spored Inocybe from coniferous forests of Pakistan

“…was recently divided into seven genera (Matheny et al 2020) within the monophyletic family InocybaceaeJülich. Of these genera, Inocybe is still the largest one with a number that will undoubtedly rapidly increase as further studies proceed from parts of the world such as Africa (Aïgnon et al 2021a,b2021b, Buyck et al 2021, 2022), India (Latha and Manimohan 2016, 2017), China (Fan and Bau 2010, 2013, 2020, Fan et al 2018) and Pakistan (Jabeen et al 2016, Farooqi et al 2017, Naseer et al 2019, Khan et al 2022), where DNA‐based Inocybe studies have recently been started.…”

Inocybe quercicola sp. nov. (Agaricales, Inocybaceae), from Pakistan

“…Several species of this family are reported from Asia (Kobayashi 2009, 2005, Kobayashi & Onishi 2010, Matheny et al 2012, Fan & Bau 2013, 2014, Horak et al 2015. From Pakistan, 32 species of the family have been reported (Ahmad et al 1997, Ilyas et al 2013, Saba et al 2015, Jabeen et al 2016, Farooqi et al 2017, Naseer et al 2017, Naseer et al 2018, Ullah et al 2018, Naseer et al 2019, Jabeen & Khalid 2020, Saba et al 2020.…”

“…Fr. (1863: 346) (Agaricales, Inocybaceae) is represented by 850 species globally (Kirk et al2008, 2012Kobayashi & Onishi 2010, Horak et al 2015, Jabeen et al 2016, Ullah et al 2018and Naseer et al 2019, Matheny 2019. The genus Inocybe can be distinguished from the other members of the family Inocybaceae by amygdaliformellipsoid to subcylindrical, angular, nodulose, or spinose basidiospores with a distinct apiculus and presence of pleurocystidia (Matheny et al 2020).…”
