Homortomyces is introduced as a new coelomycetous genus associated with leaf spots onCombretum erythrophyllum trees growing near and around the Sterkfontein caves, Maropeng, South Africa. Based on its transversely septate, brown conidia, the presence of paraphyses, and percurrent proliferation of the conidiogenous cells, the genus resembles Stilbospora (Melanoconidaceae, Diaporthales). It is di...

A new lichen species Lecaimmeria pakistanica K.Habib, R.Zulfiqar & Khalid sp. nov. is described and illustrated from rocks in the temperate forests of Himalaya Azad Jammu Kashmir, Pakistan. This characterized by its yellow-brown to brown thallus having areoles 0.4 1.5 mm across, branched anastomosing paraphyses, a tall hymenium, large ascospores 20–32 × 10–16 μm, no substance detected thin ...

Amanita calida is illustrated and described from collections made in Andalusia Catalonia, a Mediterranean environment, associated with Quercus. Macroscopically, this species characterized by whitish, beige to grayish cuticle, sometimes prominent darker brown umbo, widely striated margin of the pileus, very elongated stipe proportion diameter whitish or similar but fainter shades those pileus; s...

During mycological explorations, a new smooth spored species, Inocybe subhimalayanensis Razzaq, Naseer & Khalid sp. nov. was collected from moist temperate sub-Himalayan region, Pakistan. Phylogeny of ITS and LSU regions nrDNA, morphoanatomical data make it distinct other known species the genus. The taxon is characterized by: yellowish orange to brown pileus with prominent fibrillose, umbo...

In efforts to record fungal biodiversity of Pakistan, specimens genus Bolbitius Fr., namely B. coprophilus (Peck) Hongo, collected from two different localities with arid semi-arid climate Punjab province, have been described and identified based on morphological ITS-nrDNA sequence data. The is not quite common in Pakistan since only one species has reported so far. current study, presented as ...

Background and aims – Species delimitation is a necessary investigation for widely distributed species. Examination of herbarium specimens descriptions in local floras revealed that two forms Silene villosa were recognized. Form B S. has been identified as separate species named wendelboi . However, the latter was not treated floras. By using molecular tools, we investigated if these should be ...

SNPs from nrDNA and cp trnC-trnD were analyzed from J. indica, J. recurva and Rushforth's juniper from Bhutan and compared with previous terpene and RAPD data. These data, taken together, show that Rushforth's juniper is allied, but distinct from J. indica and a new variety is named: J. indica var. rushforthiana R. P. Adams from Bhutan.
