Abstract

The reddish species of Cortinarius subgenus Dermocybe in Europe were studied based on morphological and molecular data. Three ? completely reddish species were recognized: C. sanguineus (syn. C. sanguineus var. aurantiovaginatus), C. puniceus (syn. C. cruentus, C. rubrosanguineus), and C. vitiosus comb. nov. Cortinarius sanguineus has blood red pileus, ? orange mycelium, and not or only slightly encrusted hyphae in pileipellis. It occurs in mesic to damp forests with Picea, often on rich soil in the boreal and montane areas of Europe, presumably also in Eastern Canada. C. puniceus differs from the former by stronger purplish red color, narrower spores, and spot-like encrusted hyphae in pileipellis. It grows with deciduous trees in the temperate zone of Europe. C. vitiosus is only known from Fennoscandia and occurs in dryish to mesic coniferous forests. It has thin, often zonate, dark red to brownish pileus, pinkish mycelium, small spores, and encrusted lamellar trama and pileipellis hyphae. In addition to these three species, C. fervidus and C. phoeniceus occasionally have reddish fruitbodies. The relationships of the species were inferred by analysis of ITS. Our study shows that the previous classifications of the group Sanguinei are polyphyletic. Here, the section is limited to include C. sanguineus, C. puniceus and North American D. sierraensis. The relationships of the other species with red colors were not solved. Of the other groups of Dermocybe, the sect. Dermocybe, including C. cinnamomeus, C. croceus and C. uliginosus, formed a monophyletic group and the placement of the section Malicoriae as a separate clade was somewhat supported. A total of 34 new sequences are published including nine type sequences.
