A monograph of the genera Crinipellis and Moniliophthora from Southeast Asia including a molecular phylogeny of the nrITS region

Nineteen species of Crinipellis (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) and three species of Moniliophthora (Basidiomycota, Agaricales) are described from Southeast Asia. Thirteen relevant type studies along with excluded and insufficiently known taxa are also included. Five new species and one new form of Crinipellis (C. brunnescens, C. cupreostipes, C. dipterocarpi f. cinnamomea, C. furcata, C. malesiana and C. tabtim), one new species of Moniliophthora (M. marginata) and three formal transfers of species described originally as Crinipellis (Moniliophthora canescens, Moniliophthora nigrilineata and Marasmiellus subochraceus) are proposed here. These are the first distribution reports of Crinipellis and Moniliophthora for Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia and the geographic distributions were expanded for C. actinophora, C. brunneipurpurea, C. dipterocarpi, C. aff. iopus, C. aff. mirabilis, C. setipes and C. trichialis. Phylogenetic analyses of 12 Southeast Asian Crinipellis, three Moniliophthora and six Chaetocalathus species are included using sequence data from the nrDNA ITS region. Comprehensive descriptions for all 36 taxa along with illustrations when available are included in this study.
