<i>Atractosporocybe, Leucocybe</i> and <i>Rhizocybe</i> : three new clitocyboid genera in the Tricholomatoid clade (Agaricales) with notes on <i>Clitocybe</i> and <i>Lepista</i>

Abstract excerpt

A molecular multigene analysis (ITS, 18S and 28S nrLSU ribosomal DNA, tef1, rpb2) was used to support the proposition of three new genera of clitocyboid fungi. Leucocybe is proposed to accommodate the clade formed by Clitocybe connata and C. candicans. Clitocybe inornata is invested as type species of Atractosporocybe, while the new genus, Rhizocybe, is proposed for the former species of section Vernae of...
