A well resolved phylogeny of the Agaricaceae based on partial rpb2 sequences is presented from a wide geographic and systematic sampling of the family and compared to phylogenies based on nrLSU and tef1 sequences. A smaller dataset of the family focusing on the Agaricus clade of nrITS sequences and a combined dataset were used to determine the position of several white-spored taxa from northern...

Phylogenetic analyses based on nLSU and ITS sequence data indicate that the sequestrate genus Gigasperma is polyphyletic. Gigasperma cryptica, which is known only from New Zealand, has affinities with the Cortinariaceae whereas G. americanum and two additional undescribed taxa from western North America are derived from Lepiota within the Agaricaceae. The three North American taxa appear to be ...

Studying on Agaricales fungi collected from different parts of Mashhad and its suburbs (Khorasan province), 23 species were identificed. Among these, 18 species, namely, Lepiota cristata, Tricholoma sulphureum, Flammulina velutipes, Armillaria mellea, Pleurotus ostratus, Conocybe lactea, Agrocybe cylindracea, Mycena galopus, Psilocybe crobulus, Hypholoma   fasciculare, Agaricus bitorquis, Pholi...

The study of Agaricomycetes in the Brazilian Pampa Biome is still incipient, but it very necessary for valorization and preservation activities this area. In terms fungal diversity, least studied biome, with only 84 species already described site, despite great diversity fauna flora that biome presents. objective work to know more about mycodiversity contributing a better understanding distribu...
