Inocybe is a globally distributed genus of ectomycorrhizal fungi that occurs in temperate and tropical regions. However, species diversity of the genus in Africa remains underexplored. In this study, four new nodulose-spored Inocybe species, I . arenosa , I . basialba , I . liliputiana , and I . luteofusca , from tropical regions of Benin in West Africa, are described and illustrated based on comprehensive morphological and mo...

Species of Pseudosperma ( Inocybaceae ) are widely distributed from temperate to tropical regions. In this study, we describe and illustrate five new species of Pseudosperma : P . beninense , P . cremeo-ochraceum , P . squarrosofulvum , P . stramineum , and P . tiliae , based on comprehensive analyses of morphological and molecular data derived from specimens collected in Benin (West Africa) and Turkey (Western Eurasia). These...

On the basis of detailed morphological and molecular investigation, eighteen new species of Inocybe ( I. alberichiana , I. beatifica , I. bellidiana , I. clandestina , I. drenthensis , I. dryadiana , I. gaiana , I. ghibliana , I. grusiana , I. knautiana , I. lampetiana , I. oetziana , I. orionis , I. plurabellae , I. rivierana , I. scolopacis , I. sitibunda and I. tiburtina ) are described. All of them are smooth-spored, and m...
