Clavaria cystidiata sp. nov. from India

K Krishnapriya, T. K. Arun Kumar

Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

A new species, Clavaria cystidiata, was collected and described from Kerala State, India. The species is proposed as new based on morphological and molecular evidence. Clavaria cystidiata differs from other closely related Clavaria species by its garlic smell, yellowish basidiomata, clamp connections at the base of basidia, and by the prominent presence of versiform cystidia. Sequence analyses of the nuclear rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region supports phylogenetic separation of C. cystidiata within Clavariaceae.
