A new Mycena species with blue basidiomata and porioid hymenophore from Taiwan

Publication date: Available online 4 September 2018Source: MycoscienceAuthor(s): Cia Ling Wei, Roland KirschnerAbstractA small blue stipitate-pileate mushroom with porioid hymenophore was found on dead Calamus sp. (Arecaceae) in Taiwan. Microscopic characteristics indicated a placement within the Mycenaceae. ITS as well as partial LSU ribosomal RNA gene sequences analyses showed a close relationship with Mycena illuminans within the Mycenaceae. A new species with completely blue basidiomata, Mycena indigotica, is proposed based on morphological and molecular evidence.
