abstract = {Specimens of an unusual truffle were collected from perennial shrub plant Acacia cyanophylla Lindl. stands in Tunisian semi arid lands. Based on morphological similarities of the fruitbodies including white to cream ascomata with chambered gleba (solid ptychothecium), ornamented ascospores and cylindrical paraphyses, the fungus seems closely related to Reddellomyces parvulosporus, R. westraliensis and R. donkii species, while distinguishable on the basis of ascospores dimension and paraphyses size. Further analysis based on the nuclear LSU and ITS1, 5,8S and ITS2 rDNA sequences showed its unique identity within Reddellomyces assemblage. Combination of molecular data and morphological characteristics of these organisms warrant distinction of a novel species within the genus Reddellomyces for which the name Reddellomyces acaciae sp. nov. is proposed. }
