A new gelatinous species, Calocera tibetica, is described from southwest China based on morphological and molecular evidence. It characterized by stipitate, tough, gelatinous, dichotomously branched, dendroid or staghorn-like basidioma with blunt tips, subclavate to clavate basidia measuring 45.0–53.0 × 4.8–6.0 µm, hyaline, oblong-ellipsoid navicular, 3–4-septate mature basidiospores 9.0–14.0 5.0–6.3 μm. In the phylogeny, species closely related C. viscosa cornea nITS + nLSU dataset, but has sharp pale yellow, 1-septate basidiospores; cylindrical, subulate, slightly branched basidioma, sub-hyaline cylindrical curved-cylindrical, 7–10 3–4.5 The unique its among of Calocera.
