Multiple Analyses Reveal Evidence for Three New Species of (Clitocybaceae, Basidiomycete) from China.

Three new species of in China, , and , are originally reported and described based on morphological characteristics and molecular data. This study provides detailed morphological descriptions of these three new species of , which can be accurately distinguished from other species within the genus . Phylogenetic relationships of Clitocybaceae were analyzed using a four-loci combined dataset (ITS-nrLSU--), and the results show that the three newly discovered species of form three distinct lineages, respectively. Based on the combination of morphological and molecular methods, these three newly collected species of are confirmed as new to science. A theoretical basis is provided for the species diversity of .
