“…Species of the genus Russula (Russulaceae, Russulales) are rich and key components of ectomycorrhizal ecosystems worldwide, some of which are famous edible fungi. In this Special Issue, four new species of Russula subsection Sardoninae from northern and southwestern China [ 1 ] and six new species of Russula subgenus Russula are described from the Yanshan Mountains in northern Beijing and northern Hebei Province of China [ 2 ]. Hydnobolites (Pezizaceae, Pezizales) is another ectomycorrhizal fungal genus with hypogeous ascomata.…”

Macrofungi are well known as mushrooms, which belong mostly to Basidiomycota with a few from Ascomycota, and up to now, around 40,000 species have been described. In people’s lives, macrofungi are closely related to our economic activities, especially for food and medicine. “One meat, one vegetable and one mushroom” has become a healthy and fashionable dietary structure, and the global edible mushroom production and cultivating area are steadily rising. On the other hand, a large number of mushroom species and new active components have been found, and have become one of the driving forces of innovation of drugs and health products, especially with the development of biochemistry, enzyme engineering, and genetic engineering. Thus, macrofungi in food, medicine, and other aspects have shown a broad prospect. In this Special Issue, research on new species and related molecular phylogenies, mechanisms of hyphae polar growing and basidiocarp formation, biochemistry of edible and medical mushrooms, and some important scientific questions related to the edible mushroom industry are presented, which also reflect the hot areas of common concern on edible and medicinal fungi.

“…Kauffman. Although the exploration of extensive fungal resources has led to the identification of several dozen Russulaceae species across various regions [24][25][26][27], investigations concerning this genus in southern China remain inadequately addressed, with the continual discovery of new species [28,29].…”

The characterization of natural fungal diversity impacts our understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes and can lead to novel bioproduct discovery. Russula and Lactarius, both in the order Russulales, represent two large genera of ectomycorrhizal fungi that include edible as well as toxic varieties. Based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses, including nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the 28S large subunit of ribosomal RNA (LSU), the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2), the ribosomal mitochondrial small subunit (mtSSU), and the translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α) gene sequences, we here describe and illustrate two new species of Russula and one new species of Lactarius from southern China. These three new species are: R. junzifengensis (R. subsect. Virescentinae), R. zonatus (R. subsect. Crassotunicatae), and L. jianyangensis (L. subsect. Zonarii).

“…Since 2006, at least 68 new species have been published for the crown clade of subg. Russula , 48 of which are from Asia, and 23 new species have been described for this clade from China, demonstrating the extraordinary species richness of this clade of the Russula crown clade (Li et al 2012 , 2013a , 2013b , 2015 , 2016 ; Jiang et al 2018 ; Li et al 2018a , 2018b , 2021 ; Caboň et al 2019 ; Song et al 2021 ; Li 2022 ; Zhou et al 2022 ). Members of Russula crown clade mostly have unchanging, yellowing, browning, reddening, greying, or blackening of context when bruised, sometimes with distinct disagreeable to agreeable smell, mild to strongly acrid tasted context, white to yellow spore print (Buyck et al 2018 ).…”

Russula is the largest genus in the Russulales and is widespread throughout the world. Almost all Russula species are known to be ectomycorrhizal with high ecological and edible values, and some are lethal poisonous. In this study, four new species belonging to the subgenus Russula crown clade are identified based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence from the Xizang Autonomous Region and other provinces of China. Morphologically, Russula paragraveolens (sect. Polychromae , subsect. Xerampelinae ) is mainly characterised by a cherry red to blood red pileus centre, a reddish orange pileus margin; R. pseudograveolens (sect. Polychromae , subsect. Xerampelinae ) is characterised by a violet brown to brownish red pileus centre, a pale red to pastel red pileus margin and short basidia; R. shigatseensis (sect. Flavisiccantes , subsect. Lepidinae ) is characterised by a brownish orange to madder red pileus centre, pinkish red pileus margin, and having lateral branches or branches of hyphal terminations in pileipellis; R. yadongensis (sect. Tenellae , subsect. Laricinae ) is characterised by a dark purplish red pileus centre with brownish purple tints and having isolated to clustered spines of spore ornamentations. Their distinct taxonomic status is confirmed by the positions of the four new species in both the ITS and 4-locus (nucLSU, mtSSU, rpb2 , tef1 ) phylogenetic trees.
