Abstract

Thelephora is a genus of ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes with basidiocarps of varied shape which has been poorly studied in subtropical ecosystems. Many species of Thelephora are important edible and medicinal fungi, which have a huge economic value. Two new Thelephora species namely, T. grandinioides and T. wuliangshanensis spp. nov. are proposed based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. Thelephora grandinioides is characterized by the laterally stipitate basidiocarps with grandinoid hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, IKI?, CB?, and presence of tubular and septated cystidia and subglobose to globose basidiospores measuring as 5.3?7.4 ? 4?6.5 ?m. Thelephora wuliangshanensis is characterized by infundibuliform basidiocarps with radially black striate on pileus, and smooth, umber to coffee hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system with thick-walled generative hyphae, IKI?, CB?, and basidiospores turn to greenish grey to buff in 5% KOH. Sequences of Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) gene region of the studied samples was generated, in which the phylogenetic analyses were performed with maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference methods. Phylogenetic analyses showed that two new Thelephora are phylogenetically distinct, in which T. grandinioides is sister to T. sikkimensis with high support (100% BP, 100% BS and 1.00 BPP), while T. wuliangshanensis is sister to a clade comprising T. austrosinensis and T. ganbajun.
