Two new species and a new record of yellow Cantharellus from tropical Quercus forests in eastern Mexico with the proposal of a new name for the replacement of Craterellus confluens

Abstract

Two new species of yellow Cantharellus and a new record of Cantharellus tabernensis associated with tropical species of Quercus are presented, based on the taxonomic study of fresh specimens and in a phylogenetic analysis of transcription elongation factor 1-alpha (tef-1α) and the large subunit of the ribosome (nLSU) sequences. One of the new species proposed here, corresponds to a choice edible mushroom, which, in our molecular phylogeny, resulted in it being related to the group of species around C. lateritius and sister with Craterellus confluens type specimen. This latter is here formally transferred to Cantharellus and consequently a new name, Cantharellus furcatus, is proposed to replace the homonym Cantharellus confluens (Schwein.) Schwein. 1834 a later synonym of Byssomerulius corium. Detailed macroscopic and microscopic descriptions accompanied with illustrations and a taxonomic discussion are presented for each species.

Two new species of Craterellus (Cantharellales, Hydnaceae) with veined hymenophore from north-eastern China

“…and Polyozellus Murrill etc. (Dahlman et al 2000;Contu et al 2009;Olariaga et al 2009;Wilson et al 2012;Montoya et al 2021). Nearly 100 names have been considered legitimate in MycoBank (https://www.mycobank.org/) to date.…”

Diversity of Cantharellus (Cantharellales, Basidiomycota) in China with Description of Some New Species and New Records

“…However, C. appalachiensis differs in its larger and more robust basidiomata (pileus up to 50 mm broad), drab yellow to dull brown pileus, narrower basidia (5.5–9 μm in diam. ), shorter and slightly thickened end cell of pileipellis, narrower hyphae of hymenophoral trama, and association with oaks and other hardwoods [ 41 , 45 , 46 ]; C. austrosinensis differs in its smaller basidiomata, pastel yellow to greyish-yellow pileus with a greyish-orange to brownish-orange center, shorter and narrower basidia (50–55 × 7–9 μm), interwoven hyphae of pileipellis, and symbiosis with coniferous trees [ 13 ]; C. tabernensis differs in its dull orange yellow to yellowish brown pileus, vivid orange yellow hymenophore and stipe, shorter and narrower basidia (35–55 × 5–8 μm), and distribution in North America [ 40 , 42 , 46 ].…”

Nutritional and nutraceutical components of four Cantharellus species (Cantharellaceae, Cantharellales) from the Mountain Region, Veracruz, Mexico

“…Some of these species have a high gastronomic value. In recent years, new Cantharellus species have been reported in this region and are locally appreciated as choice wild edible mushrooms (Herrera et al, 2018;Montoya et al, 2021). Despite the popularity of edible species of the genus Cantharellus in agricultural markets in the region, there are no data on their nutritional and nutraceutical values.…”
