INTRODUCTION The mechanisms by which development favors or constrains the evolution of new phenotypes are incompletely understood. Polyphenic species may benefit from developmental plasticity not only regarding ecological advantages, but also potential for evolutionary diversification. For instance, the repeated evolution of novel castes in ants may have been facilitated by the existence of alt...

Through continuous sampling of agaric fungi conducted from 2014–17 at different locations of Eslamabad-e Gharb (Iran), two specimens belonging to the genus Pluteuswere collected.
