Phylogeny and species diversity of the genus Helvella with emphasis on eighteen new species from China

Abstract excerpt

Helvella is a widespread, frequently encountered fungal group appearing in forests, but the species diversity and molecular phylogeny of Helvella in China remains incompletely understood. In this work, we performed comprehensive phylogenetic analyses using multilocus sequence data. Six datasets were employed, including a five-locus concatenated dataset (ITS, nrLSU, tef1-α , rpb2 , hsp ), a two-locus concatenated...
