Troubles with mycorrhizal mushroom identification where morphological differentiation lags behind barcode sequence divergence
2017-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Species of Russula (Russulaceae), a large, cosmopolitan, ectomycorrhizal fungal genus are notoriously difficult to identify. To delimit species and to evaluate their morphology, we sequenced the ~400 bp ITS2 ribosomal DNA region from 713 Pacific Northwest Russula specimens from Benjamin Woo’s exceptional collection. As a topological constraint for analysis of the ITS2, we sequenced and inferred a phylogen...
