Hygrophorus russula complex (Hygrophoraceae, Agaricales) in China

The Chinese species complex of Hygrophorus russula in subsection Clitocyboides has been studied. Three new species, H. orientalis , H. qinggangjun , and H. yunnanensis were proposed based on morphology, molecular systematics, and chemical reactions. Hygrophorus qinggangjun and H. yunnanensis occur a...

Description
Summary:The Chinese species complex of Hygrophorus russula in subsection Clitocyboides has been studied. Three new species, H. orientalis , H. qinggangjun , and H. yunnanensis were proposed based on morphology, molecular systematics, and chemical reactions. Hygrophorus qinggangjun and H. yunnanensis occur at high elevations of Yunnan China; H. orientalis widely distributes at low elevations in East Asia. At present, seven taxa have been revealed in the H. russula species complex, and a key to these species is provided.
