Phylogeny, taxonomy, and character evolution in <i> Entoloma</i> subgenus <i> Nolanea</i>

Nolanea is a well-known and long-established subgenus of the genus Entoloma traditionally defined mainly by mycenoid basidiocarps included species. Until now, revisions this including molecular data exist only on regional scale. In study, phylogeny species analysed based multi-gene DNA sequences specimens from all continents. New primers are designed for mitochondrial small subunit RPB2 . The performance loci in reconstructing subg. evaluated. An ancestral state reconstruction used to infer character evolution as well importance reliability morphological characters define subclades below subgeneric rank. Based results, seven sections recognised : Holoconiota , Infularia Mammosa Papillata Staurospora newly described sect. Elegantissima A large fungal barcode rDNA ITS with numerous type evaluate current concepts. Several names revealed be synonyms older names. Four new science described, namely E. altaicum argillaceum cornicolor incognitum Lectotypes, epitypes or neotypes designated cetratum clandestinum conferendum cuspidiferum hebes minutum nitens rhodocylix re-evaluation limits leads an altered concept excluding distinct, lageniform cheilocystidia. section Ameides placed Leptonia For several formerly accommodated but excluded viz., lepiotoides rhombisporum subelegans velenovskyi taxonomic position remains unclear, because yet unresolved whole
