Abstract

Bryoclavula dryalisepiplutea, a new lichenized basidiomycete, is described from Fort Boggy State Park in Leon County, Texas. U.S.A., and represents the second species in the genus outside of Japan, and a first record for a lichenized basidiomycete for Texas. Morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses of the nuclear ITS and nrLSU regions using maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses supports placement within Bryoclavula (Hydnaceae: Cantharellales), and distinct from the previously described species, B. phycophila, from Japan.

• Bryoclavula（コケノコダマタケ属）の二種目となるB. dryalisepipluteaが米国テキサス州から記載された。 種小名のdryalisepipluteaは"elf on a shelf"との意味で，コダマとelf(妖精)という点で日米で似たような命名だ。 基準種B. phycophilaとの違いは胞子サイズと発生基質で，B. dryalisepipluteaは胞子がより長く（ [bsky, 0 points, 0 comments]
