Only a few Crepidotus species have been previously reported from subalpine areas of China. Members possessing an orange-yellow pileus are rare in China as well. Here, we describe yuanchui, new characterized by pileus, ovoid basidiospores, and abundant cylindric to narrowly utriform cheilocystidia. This is widely distributed above 2000 m asl Yunnan Province. In addition, C. caspari, which distinct based on its combined characteristics smooth basidiospores clamp connections, newly recorded detailed The results phylogenetic analyses ITS + nLSU sequences maximum likelihood Bayesian inference methods support the recognition these two species.
