A new species Leucocoprinus flavoaurantiacus is collected and described from Buner District, Pakistan, based on morphological characteristics molecular evidence. The of fresh basidiomata phylogenetic placement using the rDNA (ITS) barcode region confirm species. Description with comprehensive discussions, illustrations, analysis results are provided for novel
Meliola is the largest genus in Meliolales that includes obligate, biotrophic foliar fungi growing on surface of various plants parts, including leaves, stems, branches, and occasionally petioles vascular plants. species occurs predominantly tropical subtropical regions. They are characterized by hyphal colonies host surfaces setae attached to these superficial hyphae, as well distinctive morphological features Meliolales, unitunicate asci containing 2–4 pigmented, 3–4 septate ascospores....
This article introduces Lactarius battagramensis as a novel species along with its ectomycorrhizal association from the temperate forests of Pakistan. Morpho-anatomical data coupled sequence analyses and phylogeny inference nrDNA ITS sequences are obtained fruit bodies ectomycorrhiza, leading to better circumscription new species. is characterized by pale cream vivid yellow plano-concave concave pileus, adnate lamellae that concolorous stipe tapering towards base, globose broadly ellipsoid...
A new species of Infundibulicybe kotanensis from district Buner, Pakistan is described and illustrated. Phytogeographically this region part the floristically unique Sino-Japanese region. The cogent climate diverse vegetation are favorable for growth different mushrooms. based on morphological study compared with closely related taxa in genus. Phylogenetic placement using nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) barcode confirms novelty I. kotanensis.
A new species, Stropharia atroferruginea, is described from Battagram district Pakistan, based on morpho-anatomical and molecular (ITS & LSU) analyses. Its characterizing features are the dark red to reddish-brown pileus with round squamules decurrent lamellae, cogwheeled annulus clavate sub-bulbous stipe base, ellipsoid oblong basidiospores. Photographs comparisons closely related species also included.
Medicinal macrofungi, like prized plants and animals, have dietary, therapeutic commercial significance. This knowledge, anchored in the traditional healthcare system, warrants identification of most prominent species harbouring novel natural products. A ethnobiological approach was adopted to collect ethnomycological data by interviewing 110 informants (95 men 15 women) inhabiting 10 settlements Bannu District, Pakistan. Visiting remote nomadic sites revealed unique its type. assessed...
During this investigation, a new species of Melanoleuca subg. Urticocystis with urticiform cheilocystidia is proposed. The identification based on morphological characters and molecular phylogenetic analyses using ITS 28S sequences. A comparison the features data taxa confirms identity as taxon. detailed descriptions, line drawings results are given.
<italic>Lentinus squarrosulus</italic> (Mont.) Singer: an edible macro-fungus is reported from the moist temperate Himalayan forests of Pakistan. The sample was studied based on morphological characteristics and nucleotide sequence analyses ITS region. Studies morpho-anatomical molecular data are consistent with formerly specimens. represents first report for
