Information from the abstract
A new species of false truffle was discovered in Shibaoshan Mountain, located in northwestern Yunnan Province, China. Through morphological examination and multi-locus phylogenetic analyses utilizing ITS, nrLSU, atp6, rpb2, and tef1 sequences, this species is formally described as Hysterangium shibaoshanense sp. nov. The species is distinguished by basidiomata with a non-discoloring peridium, relatively small and light golden-yellow spores (excluding utricle, measuring 2–4 × 0.8–1.5 μm), and utricles that are asymmetrically inflated in 5% KOH or water, reaching 0.5–1.5 μm in thickness from the spore wall. A comparative analysis of the main morphological characteristics of 16 Chinese Hysterangium species is presented, along with a dichotomous key.
