A Morphological and Molecular Study of Phallus multicolor in Indonesia

Phallus is known as stinkhorn mushroom. Previous reports have shown that this genus recognized by the size and color of basidioma, which a highly plastic morphological character can potentially lead to misidentification. In Indonesia, no study has combined molecular analyses identify Phallus. This aimed determine identity orange an indusium found in Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia. The characteristics were described observing macroscopic microscopic features fresh specimens. Molecular performed based on internal transcribed spacer 4/5 region sequence. results showed specimen BO24430 was identified multicolor with 100% similarity BLAST 98% bootstrap value phylogenetic tree. taxonomic placement supported features, such campanulate pileus, yellowish white pseudostipe, brown whitish eggs, ellipsoid spores. only record P. Indonesia herbarium voucher since Boedijn 1932. addition, current assessed diversity using evidence.
