Abstract
The genus Hohenbuehelia, widely distributed in temperate and tropical regions, plays an important role in forest ecosystems. However, the species diversity of Hohenbuehelia in China has been underestimated. This study presents the morphological and molecular characterization of three novel Hohenbuehelia species from China, enhancing the understanding of this genus in the region. Hohenbuehelia albomarginata is characterized by small, gray-brown to brown basidiomata with a frosted, concolorous tomentum on the pileus, often white at the margin, and elongate basidiospores. Hohenbuehelia striata differs in having brown, glabrous basidiomata that are laterally or dorsally attached, lacking a stipe or pseudostipe, with a very faintly translucent-striate pileus margin and ellipsoid to broadly ellipsoid basidiospores. Hohenbuehelia guizhouensis has a gray-brown to brown pileus covered with white tomentum, lamellae radiating from the point of attachment, and elongate, ellipsoid to subreniform basidiospores. Phylogenetic analyses based on multigene sequence data further support their taxonomic distinctiveness. All species are comprehensively described, illustrated, and compared with closely related and morphologically similar taxa. This study expands the known diversity of Hohenbuehelia and highlights the need for further exploration of fungal diversity in China.
