Cyanoboletus macroporus (Boletaceae), a new bolete species from Pakistani forests Samina (original) (raw)

Hortiboletus kohistanensis (Boletaceae), a new bolete species from temperate and subalpine oak forests of Pakistan

Phytotaxa, 2019

Hortiboletus kohistanensis is described as a new species from the moist temperate and subalpine oak forests of Pakistan after detailed morphological and phylogenetic analyses as well as comparison with related taxa. This oak-associated species is morphologically distinguished from allied taxa by an areolate pileus surface and whitish stipe base. It is also phylogenetically distinct from H. indorubellus, the most closely related species, from India.

New Species of Boletellus Section Boletellus (Boletaceae, Boletales) from Japan, B. aurocontextus sp. nov. and B. areolatus sp. nov

PloS one, 2015

We describe and illustrate two new species of Boletellus section Boletellus, B. aurocontextus sp. nov. and B. areolatus sp. nov., which are generally assumed to be B. emodensis. In this study, we reconstructed separate molecular phylogenetic trees of section Boletellus using the nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA, the largest subunit (RPB1) and the second-largest subunit (RPB2) of nuclear RNA polymerase II gene and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 3 (cox3) gene. We also examined the morphologies of B. emodensis sensu lato (s.l.) and other related species for comparison. The molecular phylogenetic tree inferred from the sequences of nuclear DNA (ITS, and combined dataset of RPB1 and RPB2) indicated that three genetically and phylogenetically well-separated lineages were present within B. emodensis s.l. These three lineages were also distinguished on the basis of the molecular phylogenetic tree constructed using the se...

Zangia , a new genus of Boletaceae supported by molecular and morphological evidence

Fungal Diversity, 2011

A new distinct genus of Boletales, Zangia, with phenotypic similarities to the genus Tylopilus, is proposed based on molecular and morphological data. The monophyly of Zangia was highly supported using two nuclear and three mitochondrial genes based on Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian analyses. Morphologically, Zangia is distinguished from other boletoid lineages by its combination of rugose pileus, pinkish to pink hymenophore, pink to pinkish brown spore deposit, pink scabrous squamules on the stipe, chrome yellow to golden yellow stipe base, chrome yellow to golden yellow mycelia on the base of the stipe, ixohyphoepithelium pileipellis, glabrous spores and bluish colour changes in the stipe in some species. Geographically, Zangia is currently only known from southern, southeastern and southwestern China under forests dominated by Fagaceae mixed with Pinaceae. Six species, including 4 new ones and 2 new combinations, are fully documented with taxonomic descriptions and illustrations. A key to the species in Zangia is provided. It is suggested that some of the species might have started diverging from each other relatively recently with the uplifts of the eastern Himalayas and Hengduan Mountains, and both the mycorrhizal host specificity or preference and geographic separation could contribute to their ongoing divergence.

Reappraisal of the Genus Exsudoporus (Boletaceae) Worldwide Based on Multi-Gene Phylogeny, Morphology and Biogeography, and Insights on Amoenoboletus

Journal of Fungi, 2022

The boletoid genera Butyriboletus and Exsudoporus have recently been suggested by some researchers to constitute a single genus, and Exsudoporus was merged into Butyriboletus as a later synonym. However, no convincing arguments have yet provided significant evidence for this congeneric placement. In this study, we analyze material from Exsudoporus species and closely related taxa to assess taxonomic and phylogenetic boundaries between these genera and to clarify species delimitation within Exsudoporus. Outcomes from a multilocus phylogenetic analysis (ITS, nrLSU, tef1-α and rpb2) clearly resolve Exsudoporus as a monophyletic, homogenous and independent genus that is sister to Butyriboletus. An accurate morphological description, comprehensive sampling, type studies, line drawings and a historical overview on the nomenclatural issues of the type species E. permagnificus are provided. Furthermore, this species is documented for the first time from Israel in association with Quercus ca...
