Abstract

?Yadongheier? is a unique and precious edible fungus, which has been received much attention in Tibet of China in recent years, but its taxonomic status has not been determined. Specimens of Exidia resemblance to ?yadongheier? from East Asia, Europe and North America were studied based on morphological examination and phylogenetic analyses. It is found that Exidia recisa is a species complex which includes four species, E. recisa and E. repanda from Europe, E. crenata from North America, and ?yadongheier? from East Asia. Asian species is described as E. yadongensis. These four species are closely related in phylogeny and they are more or less similar morphologically, but E. yadongensis has basidiomata with almost entire edge and basidiospores measuring 12?16?3?4μm with Q=3.62?3.83, while European E. recisa and North American E. crenata have basidiomata with lobed edge and basidiospores measuring 13?15.5?2.8?3.8μm with Q=4.51 and 12?14?3?4μm with Q=4.11, respectively. The European E. repanda differs from other three species with discoid to auriculate basidiomata by its turbinate to gyros folded basidiomata and basidiospores measuring 12.7?15.7?2.8?3.7μm with Q=4.33?4.57. In addition, E. yadongensis has both dendrite and forked hyphidia, while the other three species have dendrite hyphidia only. Although E. yadongensis is widely distributed in East Asia, ?Yadongensis? is proposed as epithet because the Chinese name ?yadongheier? has already widely been used in China.
