Two species of Clitopilus (Entolomataceae, Agaricales) from Northern Thailand

Abstract

As part of our efforts to study the saprobic mushrooms in Asia, we made three collections of Clitopilus in northern Thailand. Two of the three collections were identified, based on morphological and molecular analyses, as Clitopilus chalybescens described from Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. The third collection is a new species, Clitopilus doimaesalongensis, which we introduce in this paper. The new species C. doimaesalongensis and C. chalybescens are documented with line drawings, photographs and description and compared with similar taxa and molecular data is provided for C. chalybescens for the first time.
