Additions to Trichia botrytis complex (Myxomycetes): 9 new species

A taxonomic revision of the Trichia botrytis species complex based on study specimens from LE and MYX fungaria was made. Six 7 previously described (except for T. subfusca) 10 taxa new to science (9 1 variety) were recognized. Each studied morphotype, including known ones, is in detail illustrated with LM SEM photographs. In addition, nrSSU, mtSSU, EF1α genes sequences are given all 16 morphotypes. The variability different features (including fruiting body morphology ecology) discussed thoroughly, as well their significance applicability practice. set that highly recommended be used subsequent descriptions closely related genera proposed some methodological recommendations morphological analysis given.
