Abstract:
Termitomyces is an economically and ecologically important genus mainly distributed in the southwestern and southern regions of China. We performed phylogenetic analyses of this genus using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian analyses based on the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the small subunit of mitochondrial DNA (mtSSU), and the large subunit of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrLSU) in this study. Three new species, namely T. albus, T. apicoannulatus, and T. pseudointermedius, and one new record to China, T. pakistanensis, were described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular evidence. Detailed morphological descriptions, colour photographs, line drawings of microstructures, and comparisons with phylogenetically and morphologically related species are provided.
