Abstract

Two new lamellar species,Camarophyllopsis olivaceogriseaandHodophilus glaberripes, of the family Clavariaceae were discovered in the subtropical zone of China.Camarophyllopsis olivaceogriseais morphologically characterized by its hygrophanous basidiomata, greenish gray to dull green pileus, shortly decurrent lamellae, broadly elliptic basidiospores 4–5.5 × 3.5–4.5 μm in size, and cutis-like pileipellis composed of cylindrical cells.Hodophilus glaberripesis mainly characterized by its white to brownish pileus, glabrous stipe, slight yam bean smell, broadly elliptic basidiospores 5–6.5 × 4–5 μm in size, and epithelium-like pileipellis composed of inflated cells. Phylogenetic placement of the two species was determined by the combined analyses of a DNA data matrix containing ITS and LSU, and showed that collections of the two species formed two independent lineages in theCamarophyllopsisandHodophilusclades respectively. The delimitation ofC. olivaceogriseaandH. glaberripeswere evaluated using molecular, morphological, and ecological methods. This is the first report of the generaCamarophyllopsisandHodophilusin China.
